I am a creative leader with 15 years of experience in design and brand strategy. I take pride in building teams that are curious, energetic, and collaborative, and was most recently Associate Creative Director at Breakthrough Energy, a climate initiative founded by Bill Gates. I helped the company grow its creative capacity, built the visual identity of its international summits, and led the creative execution of projects at the forefront of climate innovation.

I’ve worked with companies that, like Breakthrough Energy, are at pivotal moments of their existence. I was a member of CVS’s ideation team as it evolved from a retail pharmacy to a provider of clinical services and worked with New Balance as it transitioned from a running brand to a culturally relevant lifestyle brand.

I’m a lifelong creative who took a non-traditional path to design. I studied sociology and computer science in college but made creativity a daily practice. Shortly after graduating, I worked as a therapeutic youth mentor, focusing on art and creative expression. During that time, I also launched a streetwear and event brand called SOS with artists from my hometown of Boston.

I believe creativity thrives when people feel comfortable bringing their full selves to the table and can have direct, thoughtful communication. As a creative leader, I emphasize adaptability, knowing that good strategy isn’t just about plans, but knowing when to pivot and try something new. I am constantly pursuing new skills and am interested in incorporating photography, sound design, and creative coding into my work.
