As a designer, I approach each project with an insatiable appetite, devouring each text or score looking for the clues that will inform my work and that of my colleagues. I bring a curatorial eye and high attention to detail to every project, working closely with the director and designers to ensure that what we are creating is truthful, cohesive, and deeply personal.
