ABOUT


Hi! I’m a battle-tested, multi-disciplinary designer and creative director with a decade of experience leading creative in non-profit, progressive, and political spaces.

My career started at GLAAD, an LGBT media advocacy organization, where I was a one-man-design-and-video band for major campaigns like winning equality in the Boy Scouts and securing trans health care in New York State (for which I recieved an honor from the Sylvia Rivera Law Project). I also led a major rebrand of the GLAAD Media Awards for LGBT excellence in media, which is still in use today.

At Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, I helped lead creative in campaigns to save the ACA, protect Title X funding, and support reproductive rights champions during the 2018 midterm elections. I also created a ton of fun graphics and animated explainers about sexual health and wellness.

Most recently, I served as the Associate Creative Director at Priorities USA, the largest independent spender of the 2020 electoral cycle. I built and led a team of designers and art directors to create over 7,000 assets in support of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in key battleground states. Our digital paid program spent over $153 million and increased Biden’s statewide margins by 1.25% while decreasing Trump’s approval by 2.4%. Oh, and we won! 

I live in Brooklyn with my dog Lady and many well-loved plants.
