Hello, and thank you for visiting.

I’m a communications and visual storytelling professional with more than 15 years of experience spanning design agencies, corporate marketing teams, and higher education. Today, my focus is science and research communications—helping translate complex information into clear, engaging narratives that connect with diverse audiences.

I am passionate about using thoughtful design and strategic communication to support organizations working in science, education, and community impact. Much of my work has centered on collaborating with researchers, faculty, and multidisciplinary teams to develop branding, digital experiences, and visual systems that strengthen how research and ideas are shared.

My experience includes creating integrated print and digital communications for organizations ranging from large institutions to startups and mission-driven nonprofits. I specialize in brand development, visual identity systems, and content strategy that helps organizations communicate with clarity and purpose across platforms.

I’ve shared a selection of my work on this website, so take a look around and reach out if you’d like to connect. Due to NDAs, not all projects can be shown publicly.
