I’m a freelance designer, illustrator, and journalist living in Washington, D.C. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Graphic Design. I specialize in branding, publication design, print collateral, editorial illustration, and web graphics, and I particularly enjoy working with bars and restaurants, newsrooms, and nonprofits. As a journalist, I cover DC-area artists and creators, local politics, and idiosyncratic cultural topics.
Previously, I’ve worked as Senior Designer at EMILY’s List, Creative Director at Washington City Paper, and Digital Designer at National Geographic Kids. My career has taken me down many different avenues, including writing multiple news articles, art directing photoshoots with mini street scenes and custom cakes, and writing dozens upon dozen of puns.
I also create original greeting cards, hand-bound books, silkscreen prints, and more under my shop Rude Doggie. Other artistic achievements include several now-defunct mail art clubs, the She-Span street art project, an artist book made entirely of Saltine crackers, and an annual tradition of making funny Valentines.
I am available for freelance design, illustration, and writing work. My name is an anagram for “hit up a designer,” so please do!
