MY LIFE sparkNotes
I’m an art director drawn to the thing that goes unnoticed. That cool accessory on the subway. The unexpected pairing. The shower thought that makes me Google search with wet hair.
Outside of advertising, I’m an avid thrifter, ring collector, and occasional pet portrait artist. I love decorating (thanks to HGTV playing on loop in my allergy doctor’s waiting room every week). I now channel that into digital content for mydesignport.com, where I write about interiors and creative spaces.
My muse? My Bubbie — 108 and still creating. She taught me how to hold a paintbrush and helped me paint an alligator at 5. The rest is history.
My approach
I connect worlds (categories) that don’t normally belong together.
Maybe that comes from being comfortable in the in-between — living across 3 states and 3 countries made me good at noticing unexpected connections.
