More about me
Organized, by design
From print to digital work with both large and small clients, I’m a versatile designer with agency and in-house, enterprise, experience.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me on the tennis court, indulging in good food or obsessively organizing something. I’m also a published author with a business dedicated to supporting new parents who travel. Learn more about my passion for traveling with little ones at hellozazu.com
I'm a native New Yorker currently living in Denver with my husband, our two daughters and our dog. I speak six languages and love exploring new places.
