What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities in art, branding, design, and illustration.

I am a experienced Graphic Designer and creative problem solver specializing in visual strategy, brand development, and comprehensive marketing collateral. Holding a BFA from the University of Michigan with a focus on graphic design and illustration, I has a proven track record of managing high-volume design assets and executing brand transformations under strict guidelines.

Born in the UK and raised in the US, and now living in France, I bring a diverse, cross-cultural lens to my creative work and am currently focused on leveraging my design expertise for new opportunities in the European and international creative fields.
