Artist & Designer – Boston, MA

I make visual work that's experimental, mostly digital, and often weird.

Tell me what you’re working on, when you need it, and roughly what your budget looks like. I’ll reply within 48 hours—even if it’s just to say I’m not the right fit and try to point you to someone who is.

Work Experience

After graduating with honors in graphic design from RISD, I spent years designing at Boston agencies before stepping into an Associate Creative Director role at ICON Interactive. Since transitioning to freelance in 2020, I’ve partnered with Apple as a contractor, contributing to home screen design across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.

Artist Statement

I break forms apart and put them back together differently. Human figures, geometry, typography – I fragment them to find unexpected relationships between shape, color, texture, and form.

My influences live somewhere between traditional Japanese aesthetics, surrealism, abstract painting, and philosophy. The work sits on the border of poetry and technology.
