As a proud honors graduate of Columbia College Chicago, I began my career in the design field by immersing myself in the fast-paced world of advertising agencies. My tenure at Akimbo Group, a packaging design affiliate of Publicis Groupe, provided me with invaluable firsthand experience. I had the opportunity to collaborate with prominent clients, including Marlboro, Sara Lee, and Major League Baseball. This experience honed my ability to deliver high-quality design solutions under tight deadlines, while maintaining attention to detail and precision.

Building on my agency experience, I transitioned to working with several in-house design teams for leading brands such as the Chicago Tribune, Playboy, Sears, BMO, and United Airlines. In these roles, I contributed to strategic design initiatives that aligned with brand goals and elevated user experiences.

Additionally, I have significant experience in the dynamic startup ecosystem, where I played a key role in helping Kindly Human iterate and scale their applications into a comprehensive suite of products, providing immense value to their users.

With a broad and diverse range of experiences, I am continually driven by a passion for design and an insatiable curiosity to learn and innovate.
