“Every object of design sets a trap by presenting a problem in the form of what appears to be its solution. Thus we are deceived into thinking of the spoon as a solution to the problem of how to transport food from bowl to mouth, when in fact it is the spoon that determines that we should do so rather than, say, holding the bowl directly to our lips. We are fooled into supporting that chairs afford the possibility to sit down, when it is the chair that dictates that we should sit rather than, say, squat. [...] As a creator or inventor of things, then, the designer is a trickster. Far from striving after perfection, his field is the management of imperfection.” — Tim Ingold

What I do
I am a graphic designer with a strategic eye, skilled in art direction, communication design, and editorial design. I work hand-in-hand with my clients to think wisely about content structure and presentation; at the end of the day, the products we design together should make it feel like your ideas sell themselves.
I have eight years of deep experience building out visual identities and products for nonprofits, including advocacy groups, service providers, and charitable foundations, as well as political campaigns and editorial clients. My subject matter expertise includes health care, reproductive justice, and criminal legal system reform.
I am a strong generalist and project manager who is well-positioned to advise — and execute — for both fledgling nonprofits and established organizations looking to level up.
