I believe in the power of storytelling.

I trained and worked as a stage manager, coordinating large teams of designers, technicians, and performers. I oversaw the consolidation of radically different ideas from powerful (and often conflicting) personalities into cohesive design, while being the voice for the human element - the performers - and their needs and expectations. This would grow into the essential element of my design philosophy:

Provide a voice for those that are not in the room.

When I’m not designing:

You might find me…

  • Running a Dungeons and Dragons game for my friends

  • Cheering on the Chicago Red Stars

  • Reading a Stuart Turton mystery novel

I’m learning about…

  • Advanced hand-embroidery techniques

  • Esperanto
