I spent my childhood sketching, drawing up drafts for my classroom's field day t-shirt, and directing artistic photo shoots with my siblings. At 12 years old, I taught myself Photoshop 3.0, designed my first website, (dedicated to my and my siblings' developing singing career), and penned a 30-page PowerPoint presentation worshiping my favorite band (you don't need to know which one, but it’s worth asking when you meet me!) – my parents thought I was a computer genius! In high school, I was enrolled in an elite art academy where I learned digital photography, and was recognized for excellence in Sports/Photo Journalism. This catapulted me to pursue my degree in Graphic Design from Marymount University (Arlington, Virginia). In my 10+ years as a creative professional I have worked in television interface design, print design, retail design, web design, video design, and photo-shoot direction and am currently working at Harvard University as a designer.

I also love to build furniture, play rugby and soccer, swim, hike, and spend time with my daughter (particularly enjoying high tea).
