A seasoned design leader with a passion for driving innovative and human-centered design solutions.

As a co-founder of Modernist Studio, which was acquired by Gorilla Logic in 2021, I played a key role in building and growing the company. Now, I'm looking forward to new challenges and opportunities in my current role as a co-founder and partner at Narrative, a strategy and design consultancy.

With a background as a Creative Director at Blackboard, User Experience Designer at General Electric, and Visual Designer at Frog Design, I've honed my skills in crafting design solutions across a range of disciplines, including websites, mobile applications, marketing collateral, and branding visions. These experiences have developed my expertise in visual design and strategy, focusing on creating compelling and cohesive narratives.

I excel at bridging the gap between design strategy and detailed pixel-perfect solutions while maintaining uniform brand continuity across complex systems. My unique perspective and skillset are informed by my experience working with both internal teams and external clients. I understand the importance of designing solutions that meet the needs of both groups, and my approach emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and a deep commitment to human-centered design principles.

In my current role, I oversee all design initiatives at Narrative, set design standards and processes, and lead teams for the clients we partner with. This includes working with product owners, core stakeholders, and additional team members to ensure that design solutions align with business goals and user needs. I drive projects to successful outcomes through strong leadership and a collaborative approach.
