About me

I'm a graphic designer and illustrator based in San Francisco. My career has primarily been focused on infographic design, though I’ve done it all. I’ve been full-time freelancing since 2014 and have worked across a variety of fields and industries. I am open for more contract work or commissions.

I grew up outside of Los Angeles, attended art school at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, but moved back to the West Coast because, as it turns out, it gets pretty cold over there. Also, San Francisco is the best.

I love retro/mid-century design and styles, appreciate pun-based humor, and endeavor to bring elements of whimsy or fun to my work.

When I’m not art-making, I love baking, cooking, hiking, and sewing.

I have one very nice husband, one very silly daughter, one small but strong son, and we all live in one very comfy mid-century home in San Francisco.
