From the pineapple streets of Delray Beach, to the beer trails of Asheville, I spend my time with scotch, Buffy streaming and creating things that actually matter to me. After two decades soaking up the South Florida vibes, I traded the palm trees for mountain air—but my passion for intentional, purpose-driven design remains unchanged. ​ I’ve stepped into my elder millennial phase, and as a designer and storyteller, I’ve had the privilege of shaping brands long before AI started spitting out mood boards. My path was far from linear—web, print, packaging, digital campaigns, you name it—but every project has been a lesson, a labor of love, and a chance to create something meaningful. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. ​ A career TL;DR: I did the college thing, the intern thing, survived the corporate thing (3x over), found joy in the mom-and-pop thing, bought coffee at the agency thing, and fully embraced the freelance thing. Each chapter reinforced what I know to be true—design is energy, connection, and intention. It’s not just about making things look good; it’s about making them feel good. And I don’t create for just anyone. Purpose matters. Alignment matters. ​ If Gene Simmons can be an elementary school teacher, I figure I can tackle pretty much anything I set out to do. Portfolio aesthetic notwithstanding, I’m ready to adapt, innovate, and design outside of my comfort zone.
