Profile

I am a creative strategist energized by working at the intersection of data, storytelling, design, and creativity. Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Strategic Design and Management at Parsons School of Design, I bring a human-centered, iterative approach to problem-solving, uncovering complex systems and relationships to craft holistic, impactful solutions.

As a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, I value designing with intention—balancing beauty, form, and function with a commitment to driving meaningful change. My background as a painter and poet has honed my ability to convey ideas through aesthetics and language, fostering sincere connections with audiences and collaborators alike.

I am driven by a passion for telling compelling stories that connect with audiences on a meaningful level. Highly adept at conducting both qualitative and quantitative research, I excel at analyzing data to create insights-driven strategies and solutions. With a deep passion for sustainability, I strive to embed accountability and integrity into everything I do. As a creative strategist, my goal is to create, connect, and empower—delivering thoughtful, inspiring solutions that resonate.
