I am currently a Product Designer at Pusheen!

I currently work full time with a fantastic team creating positive experiences through the Pusheen world. Before Pusheen, I was a Design Manager for The Walt Disney Company. I managed art directional boards, designing custom Disney prints/patterns/hand-lettering/character art & icons, color correcting, and working with freelance designers. I really enjoyed style guide development and trend boards for licensed kids apparel development and direction.

Before Disney I was a freelance artist for hire! I worked with Warner Bros., NBC Universal, WATTS LA on storyboards for advertisements such as Google Duo & AT&T.

I come from an educational background in Fine Arts & Design, sign-painting at Trader Joes, poster designs, & mural painting freelance for independent LA businesses. My entry into the professional design world was at BUCK Los Angeles - where as the studio manager I learned the ins and outs about the design process from conceptualizing to finished product.

In my own time I really enjoy paddle boarding, drawing for myself, boxing, and hanging out with my partner and our 2 cats. I’m addicted to walks, sunshine, breathing and H20.
