Born and raised in Wisconsin, I moved to New York to pursue a life in the creative realm— starting at Parsons with a love for illustration and eventually finding my way into product design.

 

What began as a semester-long internship evolved into an eight-year journey through the world of handbags and accessories, where I’ve grown into a senior designer through curiosity, care, and a deep love for perfecting the details.

​

These days, I get to touch a little bit of everything: initial sketches to seasonal strategy, custom hardware & trims, color, prints, material development, and lots of storytelling. My work spans from whimsical, joy-filled collections rooted in personal memories to more technical, utility-forward pieces from leather to luggage and beyond.

​

Outside of my full-time work, I stay connected to my creative community through freelance illustration and graphic design — often collaborating with friends and small businesses in the city to bring thoughtful, visually-driven ideas to life.

​

I’m eager to stretch my design skills further, collaborate with new voices, and help build meaningful worlds within brands that inspire me most.
