I’m a creative director and designer working across brand, product, visual communication, and the built environment.

I started in graphic design, found my way into architecture, and have spent the years since moving between scales, from identities and objects to furniture, spaces, and experiences. What connects the work is less the medium than the idea at the center of it.

I’m most at home taking that idea from something abstract into something people can see, touch, use, and connect with..
