I’m a Portland, Oregon-based senior designer, focused on creating meaningful, immersive environments and experiences for brands of all sizes and stages.Armed with degrees in both Architecture & Product Design and experience in branding & graphic design, I’ve found a great blend of these disciplines in the environmental &experiential design world. I specialize in 3D design of interiors spaces including decades of experience in retail design – bringing global brand stories to life in permanent flagship store environments to pop-ups and shop-in-shops; as well as brand activations – from temporary one-time events to multi-city festival booths. My sweet spot includes flagship store environments, pop-up shops, shop-in-shops, evergreen brand moments, seasonal window, storefront facades, seasonal activations, retail directives, trade shows, music festivals and events. Human (consumer) behavior has always been a large interest of mine and I'm currently exploring ways to be an agent for change in our current society.Whether developing creative concepts or getting into the fabrication details, I enjoy the entirety of the creative process and the unique nature of every project. I thrive on collaboration and communication and believe that successful projects need both. My current interests lie in creating meaningful, immersive, and emotional experiences. I lean into storytelling, authenticity with a bit of wonder, curiosity, and magic. I’m an advocate for sustainable (and ideally regenerative) solutions and I love to educate and inspire others to do better.I’ve been fortunate to work on projects for Google, Arc’teryx, Nike, Adidas, HBO, Coca-Cola, Converse, Microsoft, Bumble, Salesforce, Sephora, Mazda, Solana, Nickelodeon, Coach and many more.Specialties include: Concept Ideation, Design Development, Brand Storytelling, Storefront Design, Fixture Design, Space Planning, Material & Finish Selection, Install Art Direction, On-site Fabrication, 3D Rendering with Vray, SketchUp, and Adobe Creative SuiteYou can currently find me nerding-out on philosophy, human-centered design, seaweed farming and plastic-eating mushrooms and living a low waste lifestyle.I’m currently working full-time but am available for freelance opportunities on a case-by-case basis.
