Portfolio

Upbeat, deadline driven contributor with positive attitude and high motivation for purpose-driven initiatives. My skill set has led to award winning products designing for renowned companies including REI CO-OP, Mountain Hardwear, Eddie Bauer, and Orvis. I’m passionate about building engaging, functional products; creating on-trend, on-brand color roadmaps; and utilizing sustainable and circular applications.

Work as an Outdoor Adventure Leader, a Peace Corps Development Advisor, and in drafting solar permitting architectural plans has left me with an expansive skill set which includes resourcefulness, creative problem solving, invaluable perspective, and addressing complex challenges head-on, professionally and collaboratively. 

Outside of the office you’ll find me...
