I began in mental health research at UCLA before moving into design, shaping how I think about people, systems, and storytelling. My work has earned Webby and Telly Awards for Warner Bros. and recognition from AIGA. In 2022, I led the Triplemint rebrand, later merging with The Agency RE, where I now guide global identity and creative art direction.
