Design the life you want to live.
I'm a designer of many things. My professional career and everyday lifestyle incorporate different aspects of design through fashion, interior design, event planning & curation. In a nutshell, I design experiences. I'm infatuated with user-centered design and creating things that make people feel something.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist and truly appreciate sophisticated UI and pixel-perfection. I enjoy creating a thoughtful travel itinerary just as much as I enjoy strategizing a roadmap for design teams to deliver new features for development. As a Design Director, I get to merge design curation and design execution in a way that is fulfilling and motivating. I’m the type of person that creates a solution if one doesn’t already exist to help solve a problem. What I create is rooted in its ability to be useful and usable and solve efficiencies at scale.
With a background in mobile advertising, brand strategy, visual design, and a life as a creative producer back when, I’ve focused on designing my life into meaning and impactful moments—that I hope others can benefit from, too.
And now, the juicy stuff.
I’m originally from West Virginia and officially a New Yorker.
Dancer >> to designer.
My fashion design secrets are Rent the Runway and TJ Maxx.
Biggest design accomplishment: curating every design detail of my wedding in Italy!
Guilty pleasures: Red Baron frozen pizza, Mountain Dew, a giant SlimJim. (no judging)
