Designing systems of order, beauty, and connection.



I am a creative director and designer guided by a belief in design as a bridge between intention and realization. With nearly two decades of experience spanning agencies, in-house teams, and academia, my work integrates branding, digital and print design, marketing, campaign development, and experiential design. At its core, my approach is rooted in collaboration—where the most impactful design emerges from dialogue, empathy, and shared purpose.

My practice is defined by leading multidisciplinary teams, balancing strategic vision with hands-on design, and empowering clients to engage deeply with the creative process. When people understand how design works, they make more confident decisions, leading to stronger, more meaningful outcomes.

As a former professor of Graphic Design and Visual Communication and past president of AIGA Vermont, I take a thoughtful and intentional approach to leadership. Mentorship, curiosity, and a commitment to craft drive my work, ensuring that every project balances meaning with measurable impact.

Based in Vermont, I find inspiration at the intersection of history, art, and nature, sharing life with my husband and our retired racing greyhound, Loewy.
