I design environments that help people find their way — through airports, through unfamiliar cities, through the hardest transitions of their lives.
With a background in industrial design and over a decade of practice spanning commercial hospitality, environmental graphics, and aviation wayfinding, I work at the intersection of spatial design, human behavior, and systems thinking. Working with clients that range from aviation companies and cultural institutions to the families I help settle into their first homes as part of my work with refugees and immigrants.
The thread running through all of it: I believe that good design is an act of empathy. When a space communicates clearly, people feel capable. When a service works intuitively, people feel respected. When a home is ready and waiting, people feel human.
I'm currently based in Raleigh, North Carolina — and always looking toward the horizon.
