Desk Dispatch

I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I’d sit in a corner of the library while my mom finished work (she was a librarian), armed with scissors, glue, and a stack of old magazines. By the time she was ready to go, I’d have a new “publication” laid out. It could be a magazine or a book cover, my fantasy of what “grown up” work would be.

After design school, I landed at Nestlé, where I got a front-row seat to how all the moving parts—design, marketing, sales, R&D—come together to shape a brand. I even spent a year as a digital marketing manager, to better understand how to manage a brand in the wild.

My style is influenced by the seasons, inspired by the changing light, colors, and moods of nature. I have a soft spot for quirky seasonal moments too—Pumpkin Spice Season, Flag Day, you name it. My guiding philosophy is simple: design creates order and helps people connect with the world and each other.

These days, I’m all about branding and identity projects, with a special love for packaging design. I’m also diving into video editing to help tell stories in motion—because sometimes a design (like all of us) deserves a little dance.
