Hi! I’m a designer and animator (and dog mum) from California, now based in Philly. I love bringing ideas to life through still and moving images and collaborating with teams to create engaging content.
Over the past decade, I have been fortunate to work with some incredible people in the creative world to make stories and brands come to life. Most recently, I animated user interfaces for Toast, animated social ads for Google, and redesigned opsZero’s brand identity and website. Last year, I served as a judge for the Webby Awards and contributed to the editorial design and layout of Quanta Magazine.
When I’m not focused on pixels and keyframes, you can find me playing with my two pups, enjoying a nice savasana in a yoga class, or trying to learn Jolene on guitar.
Science Communication
Prior to becoming a designer and animator, I was a science documentary film editor and producer. My background in science communication informs my passion for finding innovative ways to communicate complex ideas. Feel free to check out some of science communication work below.
