Intro

I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, and visual storyteller focused on healthcare and patient education. My work turns complex, often invisible experiences into resources that are clear, accessible, and human.

Lafayette Hotels: Artwork & Retail Product Line

Location-specific artwork and a guest retail line for New England coastal properties.

Working with the hotel team, I created artwork aligned with each property’s brand and guest experience, then designed a product line of prints, tote bags, mugs, and greeting cards, along with the e-commerce platform that supports it. (2026–present)

Printed Village: Scarf Collection

Head Print Designer: created the company’s entire scarf line, 100+ original prints.

I translated my watercolor paintings into repeating patterns for production and helped define the brand’s visual identity from launch. Each print was designed for the finished product, with borders, scale, and motif placement planned for how the scarf folds and drapes when worn. The scarves sold at Barney’s, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Target, and one design was the best-selling scarf in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston shop. (2013–2014)

Strawbery Banke Museum

Artwork of the museum’s most notable houses and streets, licensed for a gift shop product line.

Strawbery Banke is a living history museum in Portsmouth, NH, where historically accurate houses, streets, and a local market recreate a neighborhood inside and out, much like Colonial Williamsburg. The museum purchased and licensed my artwork for magnets, stationery, canvas prints, puzzles, and notecards, sold in its gift shop from 2018 and for several years after.
