Biography
I’m an illustrator, designer, & generally creative person specializing in illustration & icon systems for products & brands.
My work is informed by 10+ years of experience across illustration, iconography, product design, design systems, identity design, and product and brand strategy, and more. I'm skilled in Sketch, Figma, and Adobe apps.
Software and job titles aside, I'm a storyteller dedicated to making the world more joyful and inclusive through great design (and elaborate Halloween costumes).
Oh, and speaking of storytelling, I'm also the creator of "How to Draw a Startup," a podcast miniseries about illustration in tech.
Need someone to define and lead illustration at your company? Someone to live at the nexus of product and brand? Someone to write absurd design-themed limericks in your team's Slack channel? Let's chat.
