Available to hire
I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer and educator based in Santa Fe, with two decades of experience creating brand identities, publications, and contemplative design work for education, music, and cultural institutions. I run a studio, teach at universities, and explore design as a mindful practice and cultural expression that connects craft, inquiry, community, and high-end style.
I lead studios, organize contemplative design workshops and mindfulness retreats worldwide, and pursue work that blends rigorous craft with curiosity, collaboration, and compassion.
