Hey there, let's chat!
I'm currently working at IKEA, focused on end-to-end customer and coworker experiences. Previously, I worked at DonorPerfect and Pep Boys.
I live just outside of Philadelphia with my partner and our cat, Puffy. I enjoy early mornings, antique stores, and farmers markets. If I’m not designing or illustrating, I’m bird watching with Puffy or attending an art class.
Want to collaborate together? Need help with a fun project idea?
