Hello!

I am a designer and writer living in Bellingham, WA looking for storytelling work that imagines a better world – whether it’s prison abolition, housing/healthcare for all, climate justice, or uplifting the infinite constellation of intersecting identities that have been written out of the narrative.

My passion is working with change makers, be it non-profits, grassroots political campaigns, governments, or mission-driven small businesses. I have years of experience working within and alongside them, and I believe that their stories deserve as much care and attention as massive corporations.

As a designer, I’m a generalist. The fundamentals of good storytelling have not changed for millennia (empathy, tension, specificity), but the tools and venues are always shifting. That’s why I’ve curated my skills to be an all-in-one source for branding, motion design, copywriting, photography, and print design.
