This is not a bio. It’s my closet.
I could tell you the usual things – that I’m an NYC-based, award-winning Art Director with a decade of experience across agencies, in-house teams, and independent work. That I specialize in visual identities and campaign systems rooted in strategy, and that I’ve built creative teams from the ground up, led designers, championed new AI initiatives in leadership, and partnered closely with creative, copy, and strategy to bring ideas to life.
But if you’re looking for the more fun stuff, it’s better to sift through my T-shirt collection.
I got my husband this t-shirt for his camping bachelor party, and then I liked it so much I got myself a matching one for giggles. The best part is the typo.
My favorite cheeseburger. Not accepting any feedback at this time.
The most handsomest, cutiest, sweetest baby prince in the entire world and the light of my life (minus my husband and daughter).
The face on this graphic tee is made entirely from found elements in the woods. Once I heard the backstory, I loved the mix of silliness and resourcefulness and had to have it.
I'll always have a soft spot for my hometown of Chicago and the creative community there, including this tee from Chicago designer Joe Freshgoods
This tee was part of a fundraiser for the hospitality community after the LA wildfires. Having spent most of my career in food and drink, supporting trade has always felt personal.
Got this tee after a visiting friend asked me last minute to go to a metal show with her. I don’t like metal, but I love my friend and unexpected nights. And it ended it with this fun tee.
My mom bid on this for me at a fundraiser because she knows how much I love watching basketball, and there's something really sweet about that to me.
This shirt kicked off my relationship with secondhand ecom. Once I realized how much more interesting it made getting dressed, there was no going back.
What may be lame and overhyped now represents a nostalgic time for me living in Chicago, but feeling like I was meant to live in New York.
T. Rex is my icon. All the swag of Bowie without enough credit given.
As a young creative in Chicago feeling like we didn't get enough credit, Virgil represented someone who broke through midwest barriers on a global level and that always inspired me.
