“The details are not the details. They make the design” Charles Eames

I was born in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating from college there I went on to receive my MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. Immersed in an environment of exceptional design, I developed a lifelong passion for visual storytelling. For over 15 years, I worked as an art director and visual designer for premier publishing companies like Hearst, Meredith, and Scholastic—honing my skills in typography, composition, and visual hierarchy.

Today, I bring that creative discipline to the digital space. I create unbranded digital marketing content for Merck Pharmaceuticals’ Vaccine Confidence team for both consumer and healthcare professionals. This includes animated banners, website redesigns, and conference assets.

I enjoy solving complex problems through technology and design to make things better for people.

My 2 other passions are playing squash, my dog Pico and my cat Molly.
