There is only one thing I value above the written word, and that’s family. Born in the late '80s to a creative brood, I’ve always been inspired by the stories and passionate emotions that colored my childhood. As an adult, I moved to New York City and gathered an artistic cohort, taking nostalgic photos with a 35mm camera and writing for zines. What began as an amateur expression evolved into SHK Magazine—a digital hub created from scratch, featuring the likes of Lorde, Tove Lo, and Langley Fox Hemingway. I’ve created copy for Lord & Taylor, Hudson’s Bay, Tarin Thomas, Cienne NY, LuMee, Nexxus NY Hair Care, Google and EILEEN FISHER. I then found a niche in creative directing and building visual and copy identities in the baby space—Coterie, Oso & Me, Gooselings, Joey and Hatch Collection. My next adventure will be with rag & bone, as the Director of Copy.
