She/Her/Hers
Through compassionate design, my work addresses themes of justice and culture with a strong focus on empowerment. My commitment to these values has led me to work and collaborate with the Center for Multicultural Academic Excellence, Nike Valiant Labs, CareMessage, and Detention Watch Network. More recently, I completed a John Lewis fellowship through Humanity in Action in partnership with the National Center for Civic and Human Rights.
I believe those who tell powerful stories shape culture and those who shape culture, shape politics. Passionate about positive social change, I design to tell stories that culturally resonate. As Maya Angelou once said, “[people] may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”
Currently, I'm a Senior Designer at The Cru, where we empower women to achieve their personal and professional goals.
