Hello,

I'm a multidisciplinary designer with over a decade of diverse experience across agencies, in-house roles, and freelance projects. With a versatile skill set encompassing creative direction, branding, packaging, print, environmental, and digital design, I bring a wealth of expertise to every project.

Driven by strategy and impact, my design philosophy revolves around simplicity, boldness, and forming authentic emotional connections. This approach has proven to eschew passing trends in favor of timeless solutions that resonate.

I most recently co-founded Gucha Gucha, a small creative studio and shop located in the vibrant Pilsen neighborhood of of Chicago.
