I am an adept graphic designer with experience in print collateral and digital projects. I have worked with clients in the private and non-profit sectors. I thrive in dynamic and diverse settings, able to work independently and as a collaborative team player in a remote, hybrid, or in-house environment.
I began my career working in NYC at design studios, advertising agencies, book publishers, and a TV network. I have had direct clients in NYC and the Bay Area, where I now reside. As a believer in lifelong learning, I continually seek creative opportunities that enable me to collaborate and be inspired. Typography, color, design, photography, illustration, animation, video, digital, and print are areas that I will continue to be inspired by and grow.
Recently, I served as an instructor to TK through 2nd-grade students in an expanded learning afterschool program, where I taught art lessons that were also combined with math, science, and writing. It was such a joy to see what my young students were able to imagine and create. I believe everyone is creative and given the chance to shine! I share some of these student projects and my mixed-media artwork on splashesofgreen.studio.
In search of inspiration and collaboration with others, I am part of a diverse group of creatives called CreativeMornings. I attend monthly live events in San Francisco and Oakland while participating in engaging and insightful weekly Zoom meetings called FieldTrips. To refresh my drawing skills and open up my mind to new experiences and support from others, I am now part of The Grown-Ups Table (GUT), a subscription-based Substack offering weekly DrawTogether classes for adults given by creator and artist, Wendy MacNaughton.
In addition to my work experience, I continue to pursue my passion for the environment, community, and animals. Since moving to Northern California, I have participated in community science projects through The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation's Bumble Bee Atlas and planted a pollinator garden with several native plants to help Monarch Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other species.
