I’m a strategic design generalist currently focusing on digital product design. I’m from Philadelphia, but after a few years as a serial expat, I’m currently making a go of it in Stockholm.
When i’m not designing, you’ll most likely find me reading (books, ebooks, hundreds and hundreds of tabs), cooking (and eating), or in the water (outside, year round.)
I trained as a graphic designer and worked, both independently and as an employee, on building small brands, editorial and publication design, event graphics, and websites.
As a freelancer, I worked with clients in the Philadelphia area, especially West Philly, on projects like the Lancaster Avenue Jazz Festival.
I spent several years at the Center for Cultural Media at Drexel University, where our team attempted to run a small publishing studio from within a large university, with varying degrees of success. The flagship publication, The Smart Set, is still publishing today. Other experiments included Table Matters, a food and drinks magazine; Art Attack, a local Philadelphia arts site funded by a Knight Foundation grant; and Smart Set Press, the first all-digital university press. I also helped to launch an alumni magazine for the Pennoni Honors College.
After moving abroad, I continued consulting with Drexel while building brands and websites and building out my UX skillset. In Hamburg, Germany, I worked with WorkGenius to help them through a brand transition and improve the user experience of their web apps.
Most recently, I was the UI/UX designer at Myrspoven, where I helped to successfully launch their first customer interface product.
