The Fine Print
Designer by day, classicist at heart, adventurer in practice. Chasing experiences, always collecting books
I consider myself a: year-round ice cream eater, audiobook enthusiast, secondhand book collector, reluctant morning person, cold weather escapist, and aspiring good-enough-ist
About
I didn't grow up drawing or dreaming of a creative career - I started in nursing, switched to organic chemistry, and finally landed on design. Each change taught me something useful about what I did (and didn't) want. A non-traditional design background has its own kind of value. Different paths lead to different perspectives.
I've been freelancing since graduating college, sometimes alongside agency work, sometimes not. Now, I focus on partnering with design agencies and select clients who appreciate both creative thinking and clear communication. While I genuinely love what I do, I believe our best work often comes from our full life experiences, not just our professional ones.
While I may call this a studio, it's just me – and that's how I like it. Working independently means I can focus on what matters: those quiet details and subtle moments that make work feel memorable. My approach balances solving problems with finding unexpected ways to make them beautiful. I'm drawn to the quiet details, those subtle moments that make an experience memorable. My approach is equal parts precision and play, bringing both technical expertise and creative curiosity to each project.
