MEET THE DESIGNER

BRAND STRATEGIST, WEB DESIGNER, & YOUR CREATIVE CONFIDANTE

Hailing from the bustling city of NYC, my creative journey has whisked me all over the digital world, partnering with creative entrepreneurs to craft stunning brands and websites. But these are more than just designs—they're bridges, connecting you to your dream clients and infusing you with the confidence to soar to your ultimate business potential. With each project, I bring my design expertise, ensuring every decision we make aligns seamlessly with your grand vision and business goals.

What started as a love for design and coding from a young age would, unbeknownst to me, turn into a full-fledged, pinch-me dream.

MY STORY IS SIMPLE

From the early days of Tumblr to Blogger to virtually every popular blogging platform in the early to mid-2000s, I delved deep into the world of design. Countless nights were spent meticulously selecting colors that harmonized flawlessly with my content, crafting bespoke playlists using CSS, and curating photos that perfectly embodied my desired 'aesthetic.' Looking back there were a couple of questionable design choices…but even then, I was a ‘self-proclaimed master’ in designing and customizing blogs before I even knew there was a term for it.

CREATING DESIGNS THAT ARE AS SALES CONVERTABLE AS THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL

Let me take you on a journey - one that started with a young, enterprising version of myself. Armed with nothing more than a burning desire to create, I boldly offered to revamp my classmates' blog accounts in exchange for the ultimate prize: a coveted school lunch dessert. Talk about a hustle!

Fast forward to college, where I pursued a major that was completely different from my creative hobby. But guess what? Life had other plans for me, and somehow, I still found myself in situations where I became the go-to design person. And you know what? I absolutely loved it!

I continued to push the boundaries of my skill set through courses and my job, starting with redesigning websites and portfolios, and then diving headfirst into building custom websites and blogs. The sheer joy that clients felt when I transformed their vision into a stunning brand and website was absolutely contagious. I fell head over heels in love with the entire process, especially when I rediscovered the thrilling world of online business and entrepreneurship. It was in that moment that I knew deep in my heart: this was the career path I was destined to pursue.

For me, it's not just about working hard - it's about working together, having a blast, and creating sites and brands that are not only visually stunning but also irresistibly sales convertible. So, if you're ready to embark on this thrilling journey with me, let's join forces and make it happen!

When I’m not working most days are spent…grabbing a cup of coffee at Starbucks, immersing myself in the virtual world of Sims 4, bringing order and beauty to my living space through organizing, scrolling through Pinterest, whipping up delectable recipes in the kitchen, practicing some calligraphy, and indulging in whimsical daydreams of owning a lively farm bustling with an array of charming animals.
