For almost 20 years, I have collaborated with incredible people to produce thoughtful, celebratory, and engaging products and brands.
Through my work and life, the impact made and the impression left on people and the earth are of the utmost importance to me. It’s not easy or a perfect system, but I try to prioritize choosing sustainable solutions and materials when possible, mindfulness of time, and focusing on connection, community, and culture throughout any project or relationship. A few years ago, I earned a certification in Integrative Health Coaching following a year of night school study—because when people feel their best, they create and do even better. Being a partner in the growth of a brand or individual is what moves me.
Proudly from Cincinnati, Ohio, I spent my youth creating art, riding bikes, swimming, using my imagination, and cultivating my entrepreneurial spirit…I attempted to turn every hobby into a business or product. Motivation was the fun of the plan, the teamwork, the success of the execution, and the happiness of the customers. This is still my M.O.
My adult years are mostly shared between Cleveland and New York City—my grandparents’ roots in both influence my deep connection to each. I now live in Los Angeles with my creative-tech-designer husband, Phillip, and our puggle, Rocco. I long to fill my free time with painting, but I’m spending most of my time enjoying and renovating our 1930s Spanish Revival Colonial home (we have outdoor space!), reading, and also getting out to explore our new city.
