About

Music ignited my love for visual design. As a kid, good grades meant trips to FYE or Strawberries where my mom would treat me to a CD of my choosing. I remember unfolding the booklets and studying the art and text inside. Linkin Park's “Hybrid Theory.” Pharrell's “In My Mind.” Kanye West's “Graduation.” The look always matched how the album sounded; enhanced it even. Years later, I'm grateful I still get to chase this feeling -- and capture it, as a designer myself, by helping brands define and refine their visual identity.

Since 2017, I've served as a UX/UI Designer, Website and Social Media Manager, and Video Content Editor.

Previously, I redesigned and managed the website for a bank in Worcester, MA and directed multiple advertising campaigns. For a children's hospital in Boston, MA, I revamped signage and video displays across its entire campus and created videos on patient stories for its social media. Currently, I serve as a Digital Content and Social Media Specialist for the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

In 2019, I was the youngest honoree recognized among Worcester Business Journal's 40 Under Forty, which highlighted Central Massachusetts' 40 most impactful business leaders under the age of 40.
