About

I am an environmental graphic designer with a strong eye for detail and a passion for the built environment, aiming to create engaging, intuitive visual systems that connect people to place through thoughtful wayfinding and experiential design.

My strengths are visually communicating concepts, turning ideas into built realities, and attention to details. Environmental graphics has been a home to me for blending my love of architecture and the three-dimensional world with composition, color, and scaled experience.

Within my skillset, I have managed my own projects from all project phases including attending presentations, site visits, creating bid documents, and reviewing bid analysis, and tracking schedules and exhibits. I have managed curation with client’s internal teams of archivists, historians, and the like to showcase assets and tell the right story.

My other hobbies include film, travel, seeing art, playing poker, and occasionally singing karaoke to get me out of my safe zone.

Based in Los Angeles.
