about me
Design, to me, is about shaping experiences—moments that connect people to brands in ways that feel seamless, inspiring, and human. Over the last seven years, I’ve designed everything from magazine spreads and digital ads to immersive event environments and intuitive eCommerce interfaces. Each project is an opportunity to blend story with design, function with beauty.
Currently, I’m a senior graphic + ui designer at 5280 magazine, where I art direct and design across print, digital, and event platforms. I love the challenge of moving between mediums—one day wireframing a user journey, the next creating an brand identity that lives across signage, screens, and social feeds.
What excites me most is the why behind design: creating visuals that aren’t just aesthetically pleasing, but meaningful, strategic, and memorable.

design 🤝 dev (+ marketing + sales + product)
I love to make things beautiful, but problem solving has always been my jam. I have a knack for translating design concepts into clear language for non-designers, bridging the gap between vision and execution. With a balance of left- and right-brain thinking, I work hard to find solutions that serve every team involved. In my experience, effective collaboration is the foundation of great design.
design speed
I’ve been doing this design thing for awhile now. With optimized workflows, ai tools, and a little muscle memory, I’ve refined my design/direction process so that I can spend more time exploring solutions and elevating the quality of my work.
brand compliance
I understand the importance of maintaining brand standards even on strict deadlines and across communication channels. It’s an honor to be a good steward of the established and beloved brands I’ve been able to represent.
storytelling
Whether in presentation decks, email campaigns, or social outlets, I find that building a narrative is the best way to distill complicated information into impactful touchpoints with users. Each brand/product story is different and I love telling each and every one.

When I’m not designing, you can almost always find me outside. Climbing, hiking, skiing, drinking iced coffee in the forest, you name it. As long as the sun is on my face, I’m happy. Thankfully, I live in Boulder, Colorado where we like to boast over 300 days of sun per year ;)
