About me

I'm a visual and brand designer based in the Boston area. In my current role as Senior Designer at Circle, I build systems for content, campaigns, and brand expression that scale across audiences and surfaces. My background in English literature and art shapes how I approach design: as a balance of storytelling and structure, craft and strategy. I'm drawn to work that validates beautiful design against what intuitively lands for clients and users. Outside of the studio, I'm a United States Dressage Federation bronze medalist, cat mom, and a lifelong Boston sports fan (go Pats).

Philosophy

I believe it's not enough for an asset or execution to be technically sound or strategically justified, it also has to feel right. When a client or collaborator senses something is off, I don't dismiss that instinct. I dig into it, test alternatives, and work to connect the feeling to a rationale so there’s always a “why.” That's how I balance the measurable goals with those harder-to-name qualities that make work feel distinctive and on-brand: I care about systems that scale without losing their soul, and about design decisions where logic and intuition arrive at the same answer.
