I provide ongoing design and communications support for founders, executives and teams who need thoughtful + high-quality work (without hiring full-time).
I’m an experienced designer with a background in architecture, tech and wellness and over a decade of experience across digital, brand and content.
I’ve worked with real estate developers, cultural institutions, wellness startups, and government groups – shaping websites, platforms, and strategic narratives that feel clear, thoughtful and timeless.
I specialize in crafting compelling business proposals and pitch presentations that win work and move projects forward. With a strategic understanding of processes and audience needs, I help business development teams communicate value persuasively – whether for permitting, funding, or high-stakes client pitches.
My work bridges strategy and storytelling with systems thinking, visual refinement and a collaborative approach to every project.




High-touch design.
Trusted execution.
Long-term thinking.
I work with founders, executives and teams who care about clarity, consistency and quality across every touchpoint of their brand and business.
Whether you’re building something new, evolving or just need someone to handle the creative with minimal back-and-forth – I can make that easy, beautiful and effective.
