Skills & Philosophy
My work is driven by thorough research of concrete problems to create meaningful solutions that go beyond just aesthetics. I have an eye for detail and tend to focus on how certain aspects of my designs can be thoughtfully combined.

I am a seasoned public speaker and thrive on feedback. My liberal arts education taught me to be comfortable clearly articulating my thinking to a wide variety of people. This, along with my desire to solicit responses from a range of perspectives, is also central to my creative process.
Ultimately, I am drawn to team-based environments where many different voices are valued.
