About me

I have over 10 years of experience working in film, television, and commercial production. Currently, I work as a production designer, art director, set decorator, set dresser, property master, and costumer. I have led teams to research and design sets, props, decorations, costumes, and graphics, enhancing the visual storytelling on over 50 productions.

Films I've designed have premiered at the Austin Film Festival, Portland Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, and Ann Arbor Film Festival, winning over 8 festival awards for narrative film. I am an IATSE 476 Chicago local union member and have worked on award-winning television shows such as Hulu's "The Bear," Apple TV's "Dark Matter," and MGM's "Emperor of Ocean Park."

Previously, I worked as a Fashion Buyer at Yellow Umbrella Vintage, where I sourced and purchased over 100 items of vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories, managed an online Etsy store, and highlighted new items through photography, writing, and video production on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, garnering thousands of views.

I have recently completed two certificates from Parsons School of Design in 2024.

With my Graphic Design certificate, I completed 8 courses with a 3.8 GPA. The courses included Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Typography, Color Theory, Print Production, Graphic Design History, and Intro to Graphic Design. I learned layout, composition, design theory and principles, branding narratives and identity, adhering to style guides, ideation and creative process, and design critique and feedback.

With my Fashion Buying and Merchandising certificate, I completed 2 courses with a 3.8 GPA. I learned retail math, market trend analysis and forecasting, product assortment planning, the implementation of store layouts, and the organization of product aesthetics.

My previous education is from the University of Michigan, where I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film, Television, and Media with a Digital Studies minor.

Outside of work, I love reading, skiing, and traveling - over 15 countries and counting!

I enjoy learning new things and connecting with people across a wide range of industries, so don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to get in touch!
