“The details are not the details. They make the design” Charles Eames
I was born in Melbourne, Australia.
I received my MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. There, I was immersed in beautiful design and so began my journey.
I also spent over 10 years as an art director and visual designer for major publishing companies such as Meredith, Hearst and Scholastic. It was during this time that I honed my skills in typography, composition, visual hierarchy, and storytelling.
I enjoy solving complex problems through technology and design to make things better for people. I am currently a content designer at Merck where I work on website and anything digital related for marketing needs.
My 2 other passions are playing squash, my dog Pico and my cat Molly.
