About

"Everything we create with curiosity and soul is beautiful"

As a child, I remember getting up at dawn to start drawing. I'd sit at our dining room table in Switzerland with dozens of papers and markers scattered about. Frustrations crumpled and successes proudly displayed awaited my parents. In middle school we moved to Florida. The beaches gave me sand to build things with, ballet classes with carnivorous mosquitoes feeding through my pink tights and the gulf to explore the world under the sea. I was lucky to have parents to who encouraged me to indulge in art and nature regardless of where we lived. This foundation paved my way to a Masters Degree in Visual Communication from the University of Illinois, Chicago.

The result? I design things that are beautiful, meaningful and functional with others and for others. Since 2000, New York has given me a generous lively hood as a creative art director and designer. It's a constantly evolving process of dynamic and caring collaborations with amazingly talented people. From print to digital, social, photo and illustration, editorial to branding, the breath of my experience lies on the principle that any medium is a vehicle to communicate great storytelling and design.

Take a look at my work and resume/linkedin for the nitty-gritty of where/who/what/when. Always looking for like minded souls to create with.
