Designer, runner, and banana bread enjoyer based in New York City.
Currently working on interfaces for understanding complex data at Fathom Information Design. Most of the images you'll find on this site (which I built myself!) are from graphic design, web, and writing projects I've done for fun. Curious? Reach out to see more of my work or inquire about freelance availability.
Favorite projects:
- The Ron Carter Universe
Design + web development for a mobile-first immersive experience of Ron Carter's discography.
- How to Read the Internet
Writing + research: Part of my collaboration with Tiger Dingsun during our stint as visiting researchers at Other Internet.
- Post-Authentic Sincerity
Design + web development + writing for my degree project at RISD exploring the idea of authenticity in graphic design.

Post-Authentic Sincerity
For my Graphic Design degree project at RISD, I wrote an essay and built a website to contain it. The writing explores realness, nature, and default systems in the context of branding and graphic design, and how recent shifts in the way these ideas are symbolized and marketed indicate a cultural movement away from "authenticity".

Outbreak analytics & education tools
Some examples of the kind of work I've done at Fathom Information Design as part of an effort in partnership with the Sabeti Lab to create tools that facilitate infectious disease research, outbreak surveillance, and education about public health and epidemiology.
Ron Carter Universe
Ron Carter is probably the most legendary bassist in jazz history. In honor of the vibrance and elegance of his life's work, I designed and built an immersive discography with the help of Mr. Carter himself and my team at Fathom.
I wrote a series of blog posts reflecting on the project here, here, and here.
