I help brands connect with their audience through thoughtful email marketing and design. My background blends writing, strategy, and development with a deep appreciation for what makes communication feel personal. Over the past decade, I’ve worked in tech, with non-profits, and run my own stationery brand. Each of these experiences shape the way I approach my work. I love the challenge of making things both beautiful and functional, and I’m always looking for ways to make digital spaces feel a little more human.
