Howdy! I'm a hands-on, creative director and strategic brand and product designer living in wonderful Portland, Oregon. I'm currently the Digital Design Lead over at Hinge Health, and before that, I was the Design Director at wisp. I'm a pup-obsessed tea enthusiast who will never say no to a bike ride. I've got a soft spot for mission-driven organizations, startups, and non-profits, and I love nerding out on systems design. I believe elegant minimalism sells. I also believe everyone you meet knows something you don't.
I've had the opportunity to partner with some fantastic clients and studios, too, including 1000watt, Benchmade, Business for a Better Portland, Electronic Arts, Fort West, HUB Collective, IMBA: Int'l Mountain Bike Association, K2 Sports, Lazarus Naturals, Oregon Community Foundation, PDX Bridge Festival, Plastic Sunshine, Providence Health Care, Skylight Collective, Smith & Connors, and UNICEF. The appreciation feels mutual 💗
my design philosophies
01
be brave ✌️
Don’t be afraid to speak up and express yourself. Embrace the power of your voice.
02
start with ‘why’ 🤔
If you can understand your 'why' for each task, project, meeting, doors will open and the rest will follow.
03
lead with curiosity 🦋
Don’t make assumptions. Ask all the questions and celebrate your findings.
04
always be learning 📚
If you’re not learning, you’re not growing. Look at your work from a few years back. Critique, correct, and smile... you're getting better.
05
go outside 🛶
Inspiration can come from anywhere if you’ve signaled you’re open to receive it.
