Projects
I worked with iconic 100+ year old San Francisco race, Bay To Breakers, to develop a system for their brand and illustration design from sketches to final asset creation used by the brand, partner agencies, and sponsors! My work is featured across medals, race event collateral, official t-shirts, murals along the race route, and more!
Hotel Tango Distillery & partner agency Young & Laramore hired me to design a vodka bottle label for that year's campaign! The bottle design was expanded to merch and other promotional materials for customers and pride parade attendees.
Brookfield Properties hired me to collaborate with other artists to create murals for their properties. On some murals I directly collaborated with artists like Cymone Wilder and Andy J. Pizza. On others I was designing solo!
Adobe filmed an advertisement at my home studio where I showcased my virtual background designs created using their apps for remote work. My comfortability on camera and VO skills made the filming process smooth and fun! The footage and VO were turned into tutorials that are now featured on Adobe's website! The ad is shown to millions across the world in a variety of languages.
Facebook hired me to design a sticker pack of 16 animated gifs to use in their Messenger app titled "I Can Tell You Anything" celebrating communication between the closest friends!
Bloomingdales hired me and my team at Ghostly Ferns to design the year’s Give Pink, Get More campaign to raise money for breast cancer awareness. We created a striking, bold campaign that took over Bloomingdale’s shopping bags, store fixtures, products, and displays for the month!
Side Projects
A comedy mindfulness and meditation podcast where I lead you through weirdly soothing moments to make you feel better than before!
My best-selling self discovery workbook paired with a comedy video series designed to help you get paid to be yourself! In addition to a workbook, the Full Time You experience has allowed me to travel the world teaching Full Time You workshops to thousands of individuals and teams like Big Cartel, Dropbox, Adobe, Target, and more!
I started Ghostly Ferns as a private practice and watched it grow organically into a collective of 4 incredible designers and commercial artists. Together, we work(ed) on branding, event experience, products, installations, and so much more! Today our artists include Jen Mussari, Laura Bee, Brad Evans, and Myself.

Work Experience
Dribbble hired me to be the host of their Overtime podcast for the 2020 season. I was in charge of building episode content, booking guests, and recording each episode for this weekly podcast!
Alma hired me as their brand designer to establish a brand design system and apply that system throughout all web, marketing, and physical experiences!
Vox hired me as a designer to work across two events: Code Media and Recode 100. As the designer for these events, I was tasked with designing a unique brand for each event that blended beautifully with the Vox brand while standing strong on its own. In addition to high-level brand design, I also executed event experience assets from stage design to menus, awards, step and repeats, and more!
Slack hired me and my team at Ghostly Ferns to design the brand and experience for two of their events: Frontiers & Slack Enterprise. My specific role was to design the high-level brand for each of these events and work closely with fabricators to create a creative direction for stages, breakout areas, outdoor spaces, and more. Additionally, I designed key swag pieces and moments of delight throughout both events!
Worked with Bark&Co as the designer on their content team. My work primarily focused on their blog, media, and journalism platform (BarkPost) and I was occasionally called to collaborate with other teams to work on additional Bark&Co products!
Worked with the Condé Nast digital as their sole designer working on their "Copilot" CMS tool for brands across Condé Nast. I worked to define the brand design system, iconography design, user interface, and additional branded collateral!
I was the sole designer at Loosecubes, a (now defunct) startup helping connect independent workers with open desks across the world. I was in charge of all design projects from UI to brand collateral!
