I’ve Got Layers
And they are *always* organized — for all of my digital, print, and branding projects. Outside of organization and a nicely established grid, my favorite design elements would have to be a beautiful, reliable typeface and a perfectly balanced color palette.
I am creative and passionate; my work is thorough and detail-oriented. It’s a satisfying challenge to learn about my clients’ industries and create a design system that advances their goals. I enjoy partnering with a range of other creative professionals and all different types of clients, big and small.
I am based in Fairfield County, Connecticut, and have worked as an art director for over 15 years. I also spend some of my time on illustration, creating sticker sheets, reading books, and endlessly talking about Myers Briggs.
I’m always on the hunt for a new typeface, and always ready to tackle a new project. If you think we’d be a good fit, please reach out!
