Her clients have included some of the world's most recognized names: Adobe, Target, and Walmart.

Before that, she served as Design Director at Deutsch, leading creative for Adobe's social presence and shaping visual direction for brands like Walmart and PetSmart.

Off the clock, she's logging marathon miles, hanging with her goldendoodle Banchan, and hunting down the best boba milk teas in the city.
