The world consists of puzzles and problems to solve.

I enjoy identifying issues, and developing solutions that make doing work easier. In a professional capacity, that means getting to know my clients, their work, and the barriers that they face, and helping with messaging, brand, and programs to get around those barriers. Personally, that means devising great play places for my kids and finding better ways to wrap electrical cords for appliances while they are in storage.

As a grammar nerd and organization enthusiast,

I get to use my proclivity for correctness and efficiency to help ensure that Boiling Pot Media’s communication with clients flows smoothly, that projects are running on time, and to guide stray apostrophes to their rightful places. I graduated with my MFA from The Glasgow School of Art in 2018, where I pursued my painting practice, edited my peers’ dissertations for fun, and showed up early to almost everything.

I enjoy the design process;

receiving and interpreting information from clients to build or contribute towards a unique brand. One that suites their sensibilities, and communicates with their audience. The moving parts of design, whether type, illustration, photography, content, or animation are all interesting to me and I try to stay well-rounded. When I'm not working for Boiling Pot, I draw pictures, comics, and play a lot of soccer. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BFA in 2011
