From Rocky to Rocky Horror, my POV is shaped by my hunger and love for everything from mid-century Americana to my local bodega menu.

Laughs loud, dresses louder, and designs with the subtlety of aN 80’s Action movie.

  • I grew up at the race track. Motorsports has shaped my life.

    As a teen, I got my parents to lie about my age, and became the youngest professional female photographer in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 100+ year history. 

    After college, I studied under the track’s Master Historian then traveled for years with for NBC Sports and Getty Images as a content creator and racing expert.

    Ask me about the time I illegally raced the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile.

  • Certified cat lady, I paid for the entirety of portfolio school by scooping cat poop. I girlbossed a little too close to the sun, now I’m in the top 5 ranked cat sitters in the NY Metro area.

    I have a foster fail named Khloe who is the worst creative copywriting partner e v e r, but she does like a good snuggle so I can forgive her.

  • Besides being a redhead, orange is my favorite color. It evokes playfulness, boldness, and energy. It can be chaotic, it can be campy, and it can be chic. I feel like a lot of designers stray from it because it can be flamboyant and hard to match, but that’s also the beauty of orange. Is this a metaphor for me? What I love about life? What I love about design?

    Maybe just seeing your face glow on Zoom calls brings me joy.
