New York, New York
With a passion for design and a keen eye for detail, I specialize in creating impactful visual experiences that drive brand recognition and elevate customer engagement. Originally from Upstate New York, I earned my BA in Art and English Writing from the University of Pittsburgh, which laid the foundation for my multidisciplinary approach to design.
My professional journey includes a strong background in creative direction, team leadership, and project management. As an Art Director, I have successfully led cross-functional teams to develop and produce branded products for luxury hotels (Ace Hotels, One Hotels, Baccarat etc) and restaurants, ensuring alignment with client vision and industry standards.
Previously, I honed my design and product development skills in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector, where I oversaw the creation of party goods, gift items, and packaging sold at major retailers such as Target and Walmart. In these roles, I managed the end-to-end design process, collaborated with production teams, and delivered high-quality products that met market demands.
