I’ve always been an artist. Or at least since the age of two when my parents gave me a watercolor set and paintbrush. (I still hold pens in the same way!) In high school, an art teacher encouraged me to enter an early college program at The Art Institute of Chicago where I discovered a magical field that married my creativity with my curiosity for human behavior. A designer was born.

As a Creative Director, I am an intuitive and imaginative leader who stewards innovative and iconic CPG brands. I love the challenge of complex problem solving while expanding the boundaries of what is possible, guided by visionary storytelling. 

When not at my computer, I can be found baking a sweet treat, walking along the Chicago lakefront, checking out hidden gem restaurants or watching a great movie or series. Ask me for a recco—I’m your gal.
