EDUCATION
Over the past 8 years, I've held full-time and contract positions including Creative Director at Kiki Milk and Senior Brand Designer at Laird Superfood, with a focus in CPG and events specifically in plant-based Food & Beverage. My unique blend of artistic sensibility and industry design experience has informed unique, narrative-driven design. I've worked with renowned brands like Meta, Equinox, Kiki Milk, PepsiCo, WeWork, Laird Superfood, and Hu Kitchen, crafting one-of-a-kind brand events, product experiences, and installations. In my current design practice I am centering design justice, illustration and art direction.

FEATURED PROJECT
Found at the intersection of retro Hawaiian and modern coffee shop, this cafe environment concept features nice simple finishes, paired with a modern take on vintage surf style. The environment creates an inclusive space that you know you are getting a quality product from. Picking a warm to cool color scheme, and a couple of tropical patterns, allows us to create lively graphics to pair with the sophisticated finishes—showing that we take our product serious, but we also enjoy what we do. This concept was a collaboration with my design colleague on concept work, including visual mood boards and ideation all the way through to final presentation. My individual contributions included the 3D mockups, as well as various assets including menu designs.
