I am a multidisciplinary designer with expertise in graphic design, user experience, content development and design-based strategy. For over 10 years I have helped businesses, organizations and global brands define and communicate their unique voice through elegant, thoughtful design solutions. My favorite projects are intellectually challenging, visually creative and are treated as a partnership between client and designer. People love to work with me because of my rigorous process and attention to detail. At Johnson & Johnson I worked as Graphic Design Manager for the Cross-Sector Innovation Design group—a team of design researchers, strategists and industrial designers brought together to improve patient experience through human-centered design. We collaborated with business partners across all three J&J sectors to create holisitic and intuitive user experiences with lasting, measureable impact. As a Senior Designer at New York branding agency Siegel+Gale, I was a key team member in the large-scale rebranding of international software company SAP and American health insurance company Aetna. I also worked on ad campaigns for Google and Sony PlayStation while freelancing at Wieden+Kennedy Tokyo, and designed exhibition catalogues for the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Guggenheim Museum at Heavy Meta Design in New York. I look forward to working with you! Portfolio link upon request.
