I’m a creative director who works to align inspiration, business objectives, and storytelling into a powerful and clear brand narrative. With deep experience developing brands and creating content across various platforms in the food, home, hospitality, and lifestyle space, I seek to be both innovative and strategic in my approach. My work exudes elegance and playfulness, and no detail is too small. But, above all, I love making beautiful things that people will love, connect with, and enjoy.
For the first eight years of my career I worked in Paris where, to great acclaim, I founded Merce and the Muse, the city’s first third wave coffee shop. It was this experience that first allowed me to match design, built environment, and creative storytelling with strong brand goals and business objectives. I’ve loved sharing this expertise with a wide variety of international clients and projects over the years.
Now, based in Los Angeles, I work with clients to define, develop, and implement their brand vision. I’d love if you said hi : )
