Portfolio Overview
I'm a creative polymath who moves fluidly between design, storytelling, and production. I've worked on everything from brand identities to marketing campaigns, bringing ideas to life through sharp visuals and compelling narratives. With a deep understanding of both form and function, I adapt to each project’s needs—whether refining a brand’s voice, shaping a presentation’s flow, or crafting dynamic digital media. This portfolio offers a glimpse into the many ways I make ideas resonate.
Communication Systems
From presentations to polished documents, I design cohesive communication systems that don’t just inform, they captivate. Every piece is built with a clear aesthetic and creative strategy, ensuring consistency across decks, reports, and internal materials. Thoughtfully designed communication isn’t just about looking good—it’s about making information effortless to absorb and impossible to ignore.
Presentation Design
The key to good presentation design is clarity—both in message and visuals. I create decks that distill complex ideas into digestible, visually compelling narratives. Whether it’s an investor pitch, an executive briefing, or an internal strategy presentation, I craft slides that guide audiences seamlessly through key takeaways, balancing storytelling with structure to ensure every slide serves a purpose. Because let’s be honest—no one should have to squint through a wall of text or fight the urge to zone out on slide three.
Writing
A childhood spent devouring books at breakneck speed made me fall in love with language and its ability to shape the way we think and feel. That love evolved into a deep appreciation for writing, where every word serves a purpose. Whether crafting sharp, strategic copy or spinning an immersive narrative, I write with intention, rhythm, and the unwavering belief that words have power—and I intend to use them well.

Excerpt From “Life Post-Pandemic: Adapting to New Kinds of Normal”
What will it be like to see people again? The CDC has recently announced that vaccinated people are now able to visit each other, indoors, and without masks. The day many of us have been waiting for is finally approaching, and with that excitement and relief can also come a sense of unease. After months of isolation, we are peeking out our windows, much like the munchkins of Oz, checking to see if the Wicked Witch really is gone. A reasonable person might ask: if we’ve been waiting for something to happen for so long, why are we so anxious when it does? The answer is that this year of living differently has created new patterns for our lives.
Academic Excerpt
Excerpt From “The Climate Change Regime and the 21st Century Liberal World Order”
Welcome to the Anthropocene. From an ecological perspective, we now define an entire era by humanity’s unparalleled impact on Earth. Humans have cleared over 30% of the world’s forests, rerouted half of its rivers, drained vital wetlands, and critically depleted groundwater reserves. We have altered the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and the acidity of our oceans, leading to mass extinctions and ecosystem collapse. In the words of Gustavo Sosa-Nunez, “Gaia is dead, and the Earth has become a mere footnote in a history of production and consumption.”
Graphic Design
"Make it pretty!"—a request I hear often, and yet great design is about more than aesthetics. It organizes information, guides focus, and does the heavy lifting when people don’t want to read (which is often). My style is clean, modern, and intentional, using typography, negative space, and strategic color choices to enhance clarity. Whether building from scratch or working within an existing brand identity, I refine and expand design systems to create cohesive, effective visuals that feel both polished and purposeful.
Video Editing
Film was one of my first loves—the gateway that led me into communications. My personal style leans into the nostalgia of home videos and analog textures, creating edits that feel authentic and lived-in. At the same time, I love exploring different editing styles, adapting to match a brand’s identity and the unique needs of each project. No matter the format, I focus on rhythm, pacing, and the perfect score to bring a story to life—making every cut feel intentional and every frame resonate.

Motion Graphics
When I learned that illustration and design could be brought to life through film, I was hooked. Motion adds a new dimension to storytelling—turning static visuals into something immersive, energetic, and alive. I have a particular love for the art of title sequences and title cards, where typography, movement, and visual style set the tone before a single scene unfolds. Some of my favorites include Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name, Juno, and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Whether animating for corporate explainers, brand visuals, or dynamic social content, motion graphics add a layer of depth that makes video more immersive, expressive, and unforgettable.
Podcasts
A good podcast isn’t just about what’s said, it’s about how it’s told. From structuring compelling narratives to fine-tuning audio, I shape episodes that flow seamlessly, keeping listeners engaged from the first word to the final sign-off.
Website Design
For small businesses and independent professionals, a website is more than an online presence—it’s a mark of credibility and a home base for their work. I’ve designed sites for law firms, real estate services, estheticians, mental health clinics, and award-winning artists, tailoring each to reflect their unique identity. I focus on clean, functional design that not only looks great but works seamlessly to support their goals.
