Current Work
Forty, Visual designer
By day, I'm a Visual Designer at Forty, where I help our clients reach their business goals through design. My job goes way further than logos and websites. I design meaningful customer experiences by tying all of a brand's elements together—the identity, website, collateral, interior design, and more—and communicating their personality through every touchpoint. I have a passion for creating harmony between aesthetics and usability, and at Forty, I get to do that every day!
