EXPERIENCE
Personal Profile
I am a multidisciplinary designer with over 10 years of experience across apparel graphics, print production, ecommerce, branding, photography and digital content. Throughout my career, I have worked with multiple brands, major retailers, licensed properties and private label programs to create trend-forward design solutions that connect with customers and drive sales.
My work is influenced by California culture, apparel, art, photography and emerging creative tools. In addition to my professional design roles, I founded Neon Bloom, where I built the brand from the ground up, including product design, photography, ecommerce, social content, production, packaging and brand direction. I have also been nominated as an official Nikon 100 photographer for my work in landscape and nightscape photography.
