I’ve always been drawn to learning, and to ideas, people, and experiences that sit a little outside the expected path. I believe in following curiosity, that there are many answers to the same question, and I value new perspectives and finding meaning in the unexpected.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I graduated from UCLA with a degree in Women’s Studies and later studied Graphic Design at Parsons School of Design. I spent fourteen years living and working in New York across publishing and in-house brand design, creating everything from books to digital experiences and lifestyle-focused projects. I currently design books for HarperCollins.

Through every chapter and season of my life, I’ve remained committed to growth, evolution, and searching for new ways of seeing. Outside of work, a few things I love are live music, comedy, travel, and nature.
