about me.

With a foundation in Industrial Design and Sustainable Product Design, I’ve built a multidisciplinary career rooted in thoughtful problem-solving and visual storytelling. I’ve curated contemporary art exhibitions, led community-centered work as a Peace Corps Volunteer, and shaped compelling narratives for political campaigns and global organizations like the National Geographic Society. As Brand Manager at the O’Neill Institute at Georgetown University, I led a full-scale brand overhaul—redefining mission, values, visual identity, and digital presence.
