About Me

With 10 years of experience leading and executing projects across a wide range of industries, I bring clarity, strategy, and a focus on aesthetics to the work I take part in.

I believe that:

  • Great work comes from great collaboration.
  • Design should be useful and beautiful.
  • Planning for the future means success in the present.
  • Iteration and forethought are keys to effective design.

Biography

I am an interdisciplinary designer & programmer working in New York State’s beautiful Finger Lakes region. Specializing in design / creative direction, front end development, and graphic design / illustration, I have experience working with everything from print media to virtual reality environments.

I am currently the Design Director at Attention Span, an award-winning future-focused design shop and strategy agency. I have also worked as a front end developer for website startups, and spent several years as an undergraduate researcher and designer at Ithaca College. While there, I worked with a team of researchers and faculty members creating an interactive, narrative-driven, purposeful game to mimic the kind of informal foreign language acquisition students can experience while studying abroad. I received my B.S. in Emerging Media from Ithaca College, where I also triple-minored in Web Programming, Game Development, and Computer Science.
