Hey 👋🏾

I'm a senior multidisciplinary designer and art director motivated by the potential of design to make life better, piece-by-piece, by making everyday tasks easier and hopefully a little more fun.

I'm passionate about learning, spreading and contributing to inclusive cultural expression all while influencing real community change. I’m now at the IBM iX but I’ve also worked in-house for organizations like the World Economic Forum, brands like Chanel, at digital agencies like POSSIBLE (now Wunderman Thompson) and in pharmaceutical agencies like McCann Health.

With a vibrant energy and proactive approach, I flourish in collaborative environments but am just as self-motivated accomplishing things on my own as a freelancer helping small brands get on their feet.

I specialize in designing for digital, but still find a way to work on editorial, front-end development, illustration, motion graphics, and video production where I can.

I’ve designed an interactive tool to track business’s risks, social content to show how the gender gap has shifted, a narrative-led site to learn about the creativity stemming from the transatlantic slave trade and designed a cybersecurity report detailing the concerns of quantum computing — All have taught me the best creative happens somewhere between a thoughtful strategy, a light-hearted outlook, with as many kinds of folks in on the action as possible.
