I am a storyteller at heart and a Graphic Designer by trade.
Throughout MY 20+ year TV & film career I have hopped from studio to studio, designing for all the major networks (NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS), as well as HBO, WB, Starz, Disney, Apple TV, and Netflix, all the while collecting mentors, friends and skills along the way. Working in hollywood has been pure magic.
i love creating and designing from the perspective of unique characters across diverse cultures and time periods. My career in visual storytelling has spanned both the Art Department and VFX/Post Production, where in a single day I might create signage for a fictional business, design a graphic t-shirt used as a punchline, or develop screens for a faux phone app that delivers an essential plot twist.
in 2022, my family and I moved to Boise, Idaho. during this time of transition I worked for art of play, an online wonder emporium that boasts a curated collection of puzzles, magical home goods and playing cards. being a part of this team was like taking a masterclass in design + craftsmanship + marketing, as we created and produced beautiful objects together.
keeping one foot in the tv industry, I’m an active IATSE Local 800 member, working remotely on la-based projects such as the Disney channel's “BUNK’D” (2025 Children's & Family Emmy Winner for Outstanding Art Direction) and “The Wizards Beyond Waverly Place”; and Netflix’s “YOU” (Post Prod / VFX graphics).
recently, I've been working with an experiential marketing agency designing environments and interactive elements for live events. Here, I explore new mediums and formats to craft customer journeys and memorable brand engagements. Projects have ranged from trade show booths to influencer events, and even packaging for sweepstakes prizes with nationally recognized brands.
If you’re a graphic designer interested in breaking into film/TV—or if you’re someone curious about working in the Art Department—please feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to answer questions and share what I’ve learned along the way.
