DESIGN PHILOSOPHIES
Always be
an effective listener
Active listening allows me to not just hear feedback, but to understand what the project needs. Listening is my most essential design skill.
Everything
must have meaning
When each design decision is infused with purpose and every element aligns with the objective, a truly effective visual story always follows.
Keep it simple,
but make an impact
While ‘less is more’ is a start, pushing to deliver significant and memorable experiences transforms solutions from effective to exceptional.

You are very talented, and your communication style sets you apart from other designers. You also have a ton of range and work ethic that we really appreciate. You have been one of our favorite people to work with for many reasons—those are just a few.

Your work output is beautiful and accurate. Your communication, attention to detail, and overall pleasantness really made this a shockingly stress-free, and in fact an enjoyable process.
STEPHANIE CENCULA, Asst. Director, The Brookings Institution
You’re strategically creative and present well to clients, you explain the strategy of the design so they understand how it fits their objective, and you create a positive experience for the user.
