I'm a graphic designer working across brand identity, creative production, and leadership — with experience spanning agency direction to in-house work for international brands.

I studied Communication Design at Elon University, with a semester abroad in Copenhagen that pulled me toward European design and, eventually, a move to Hamburg, where I now work as a Creative Trainee at cadooz GmbH. There, I shape brand identity systems across three product lines, working within tight guidelines while still pushing for visual clarity and consistency across everything from social content to print.

Earlier in my career, I led a team of 15 designers as Creative Director at Live Oak Communications, managing seven client accounts and running a student-run agency through real client work and deadline pressure. That experience shaped how I approach production now: not just making things look good, but finding ways to make them faster and easier to produce. At cadooz, I built a Figma automation workflow that cut banner production time by over 90%.

My background moves between agency pace and in-house corporate structure, which means I'm equally comfortable setting creative direction, managing a team through revision cycles, or getting into the weeds of a workflow to make it faster — without losing sight of the craft.
