I LOVE BEAUTY AND FASHION.

As a Creative Director with a background in graphic design and fine art and a B.A. from School of Visual Arts in NYC, I spent nearly a decade at Estée Lauder working closely with Jo Malone to launch her brand in North America. During a sabbatical year, I did yoga teacher training at the Iyengar Institute — and discovered a new perspective and fresh excitement for the world around me.

I was moonlighting as a yoga instructor at the Whitney Museum of Art when I started as VP Creative Director at Martha Stewart Omnimedia, overseeing a team of 14 designers and writers. At Martha Stewart, I helped develop brands like Michaels, Bernhardt, Macy’s, Kmart, 1-800 Flowers, Crane & Co., and more. It was here I developed relationships with some of the world’s best stylists and photographers, with whom I’ve co-created many campaigns in the years to come. My next adventure took me to Fresh at LVMH, working for nine years with the founders Lev and Alina to tell the story of their brand through global campaigns and product launches.

MY WORK IS DELIBERATE, ATTENTIVE, EVOCATIVE, AND SENSUAL.

My passion is creating assets that are intentional: clearly communicating the story and feeling of a brand through the senses, with a reverence for ingredients, nature (and human nature), and the tactile experience we have of the world. My hope is to embody the spirit of a brand and stir deep emotions that move people to connect authentically with it — because even after what we see fades, we never forget how we feel.
