A lifelong passion for learning and discovery drives my love of design.
I began my design career in New York City for beauty brands Estée Lauder and Origins, where I created brand design across global skincare and holiday markets. Later, as a freelance brand designer, I worked on large consumer brands including West Elm and Bath & Body Works.
After relocating to Austin, I founded an e-commerce stationery business, designing and shipping modern invitations for hundreds of clients. I also expanded my design practice, creating brand identities, event design, and web and mobile designs for e-commerce, SaaS and consumer brands.
While building my e-commerce brand, I became deeply interested in user experience, seeing firsthand the impact user-centric design had on both profit and customer happiness. I love digging into a complex project, deep-diving into the “why”s, finding the core of a problem and hypothesizing potential solutions. That moment when everything gels into an elegant design solution is still a spine-tingler for me.
Outside of design, I enjoy playing with paint, practicing yoga and pilates, and relaxing with our cattle dog mix, Gus.
