CREATIVE VISIONARY & FEARLESS LEADER

I’m an art director and designer who brings a native New Yorker’s multicultural edge, an entrepreneur’s spirit, and a storyteller’s eye to every brand I touch. With 8+ years of experience across fashion, media, CPG, and tech, I specialize in creating visual worlds that are as strategic as they are stylish. My work has shaped everything from editorial and branding at Business Insider to retail design at Tory Burch and visual identity and digital campaigns at Publicis Sapient, as well as leading social-first art direction for startups.

My work lives at the intersection of strategy and style—balancing aesthetics with performance. I’ve directed cross-functional teams, built scalable brand systems, concepted motion-forward campaigns, and brought digital and experiential ideas to life across platforms. Whether I’m storyboarding social video, building a design toolkit, or shaping a full-scale rebrand, I lead with intention and deliver with clarity.

I got my start at LaGuardia Arts High School (aka the "Fame School") in Manhattan where celebrities like Timothee Chalamet, Robert DiNero, and Jennifer Aniston graduated from. Majored in fine arts and New York became my creative playground. I then earned my degree at Syracuse University studying technology, design and photography. 

Beyond design, I embrace ventures that fuel my creativity. In 2024, I modeled in White Claw’s non-alcoholic campaign, and in 2019, I launched an Airbnb Experience photography tour, capturing NYC’s hidden gems for clients worldwide. Outside of design, I’m likely playing on my women’s golf league, traveling, following Formula 1, painting, exploring art exhibits, or perfecting my latest DIY nail set. I believe great creative comes from living fully—and I bring that energy into every project.
