Available to hire
Designer with 15 years across consumer, ecommerce, and retail brands, including two direct-to-consumer brands I founded and design for today. I work end to end across brand systems, paid social/email creative, landing pages and Shopify product pages, packaging, retail displays, and production-ready print files for vendors.
I like moving fast, testing ideas, and improving what already exists—building reusable Figma design systems, templates, and component/variable libraries that speed up turnaround while keeping work tightly on brand.
