What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote creative role where I can bring together my experience in branding, art direction, and visual storytelling. I enjoy working with thoughtful, ambitious teams, developing ideas from concept through execution, and creating work that feels both distinctive and purposeful.

At OFFICE ELSEWHERE, I founded an independent design practice focused on branding, digital experiences, and creative strategy. I developed brand identities, websites, social campaigns, email marketing, and product launches for startups, technology companies, universities, and lifestyle brands.

At REMITLY, I led five designers across marketing and product initiatives and art directed video campaigns that generated over 4B impressions and 445K app installs. I also increased customer engagement by 20% through data-informed creative strategy and experimentation.
