Q What do you do?
“I’m a designer + art director based in Los Angeles.”
Working for the past 9 years primarily in the luxury space, I specialize in strategically-driven digital experiences, integrated campaigns and branded editorial content.
I strive for innovative solutions by way of elevated, intentional design.
I’ve worked on the in-house creative teams at Parachute Home, Oliver Peoples and Merit Beauty.
Q What steps did you take to get to where you are now?
I never went to school for design but built a design portfolio with some personal projects, which led me to my first design job. I began my career as a Jr. Designer at Parachute Home, and have since been a designer and art director in house at some of the top luxury brands in the lifestyle space. I've recently decided to go freelance and consult independently for brands.
Q How do you stand out in your field?
I've worked specifically with luxury brands for 9 years. It's led me to hone my taste level and attract clients that share the same sensibilities and aesthetics. I also have a lot of experience with e-comm start-ups, so I'm familiar with those kinds of environments, as well as the fast pace nature.
Q What are you working on right now?
I'm working on getting established as a freelancer, building up my client list and marketing myself. I'm working with a few select clients on their content strategy.
Q What’s your style?
Casual but refined. With photography I resonate with beautiful dream-like imagery. With design I keep in simple, minimal and classic.
Q Out of all your slashies, which one do you wish you could do more often?
Photography
Q What is frustrating you right now?
I'd like to redo my website but building my client list and deliverables for clients is taking priority
Q If you could hire someone for $20/hour, what would you have them do to make your day easier?
Honestly - organize my closet! But also my data files, and help with some executional design work for my client work.
Q What do you wish you could have told yourself, when, and why?
That things always work out. No matter how hard it gets. Sometimes you need to stop, take a step back, start over and rebuild yourself.
Q If you could talk to an expert to gain more insight on something, what would it be about?
Building a network, getting client work to start freely flowing
Q What kind of opportunities/projects are you looking for?
Branding, Art Direction, Creative Consulting
Q Describe your ideal job/client/collaboration.
It's great when you share aesthetics, sensibilities and values and you can collaborate in an environment with no egos involved.
Q What is your rate?
I charge $75-90/hour depending on the project.
Q How should someone approach you about working together?

Q Who is a creative you admire?

Q Oh! and… how do you stay creative?
Getting OUT in the world for inspiration. not looking at other similar brands or art connected to my project, seeking inspiration elsewhere.
