About

Welcome to my world of packaging design! With nearly two decades of experience, I've had the opportunity to work with brands of all sizes, creatives of all levels, and products that fit in your pocket or need to be delivered by truck. A mentor once joked that "...CPG designers simply make garbage" and I can proudly say that I have seen my designs on both store shelves and in a few trash bins. 

 

I love working with other creatives, art directing photoshoots, attending consumer testing sessions (I love data driven concepts), and seeing brands succeed and win at shelf. I have a keen eye for detail and love nothing more than perfecting small pixels, naming my layers, organizing files, and adding print finishes that make a design truly stand out. 

 

When I'm not designing, you can usually find me with a passport in my hand. I'm an avid scuba diver and have been fortunate enough to explore some of the most incredible dive sites around the world. With over 180 dives under my belt, and stamps from 20+ countries, my designs are often inspired by my travels and experiences.
