About

I’m a lifelong artist and maker with an insatiable curiosity about science and the natural world.

In college I couldn’t decide between majoring in art or environmental studies, so I took coursework in both. The dots finally connected when I realized I could apply my creative instincts to address environmental problems as a designer. I’ve been passionate about using my creativity to build a better world ever since.

My creative drive has taken many different forms over the years, including:

• Writing for one of the OG sustainable design blogs in the mid-2000s

• Working for a museum exhibit design firm in Boston

• Earning a graduate degree in industrial design at Rhode Island School of Design

• Establishing the Office for Sustainability at a large state university, and

• Many years with the nonprofit Biomimicry Institute crafting education programs at the intersection of design, biology, and ecological literacy.

  I wrapped up my tenure at the Institute as manager for visual science communications, creating and commissioning original science illustrations and graphics for AskNature, a digital library of biological information organized by function. Now, I’m excited to learn about your project and how I can help!
