About

Twenty years in and I still just want to make good work with good people.

I'm a Senior Designer and Art Director — RISD-trained, healthcare-specialized, and genuinely energized by complex, purposeful work. I ask a lot of questions, get comfortable in ambiguity fast, and check my ego at the door. Collaboration across teams, personalities, and generations is where I thrive.

For nearly six years I was part of the American Medical Association, the nation's largest physician organization, where my work touched everything from national campaigns to internal culture-building — always end-to-end, always with full ownership. Before that, years of consultant work with healthcare and enterprise organizations, owning projects from brief to final delivery.

I'm based in Evanston, Illinois.
