About Me.

I'm a creative director and content specialist focused on sustainable, science-driven brands.

I translate complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals and narratives across brand development, digital strategy, design, and content production. I guide teams from concept through execution with clarity and purpose, equally comfortable at hands-on creative work and the orchestration of complex, multi-stakeholder projects.

I studied environmental science at Stanford University as an undergraduate, then stayed on for a master's in science communication.

I began my career at Emerson Collective, producing visual and written work that helped mission-driven ideas reach a wider audience.

Then, I joined Stanford Medicine's global health team, translating research and fieldwork into stories.

Most recently, I served as creative director at Sound Agriculture, a sustainable agricultural biotech company, leading brand and all external-facing content.

Today, I work as a one-person creative agency, enabling small companies to have a memorable visual and story-driven impact.

But if you really want to know who I am…

Cooks at work in a commercial kitchen

I grew up cooking and taking photos in a commercial kitchen.

I never stopped cooking...

Foraged clams

or taking photos.

These days, for fun…

I write fiction,

and I just completed my first manuscript for a novel.

But mostly I'm outside.
