Bay Area-based branding and web design professional with a nuanced understanding of messaging via a masters-level background in linguistics.

The message comes first. While my academic background as a linguist tells me what to say, my professional experience as a designer and photographer tells me how to say it visually. I focus on enhancing the effectiveness of a message through design, keeping it simple and avoiding complicated and distracting creative.

I have a wealth of experience as both an in-house and freelance designer for tech enterprises, start-ups, nonprofits, musical artists, and everything in between. As a photographer, I've worked professionally for clients from newspapers in California to professional cycling teams in France.

Based in San Francisco, CA but working with clients the world over, I am always interested in a new opportunity to increase a company's profitability through visual design.
