About Me
Championing the intersection of design and environmental science, I’m an award-winning Product Designer at the University of Maryland’s Center for Environmental Science, supporting the Chesapeake Bay Program. I specialize in transforming complex ideas into engaging, intuitive, and accessible experiences across digital and print media—rooted in user-centered design, informed by research, and driven by a commitment to inclusion and visual impact.
In addition to my work in the environmental field, I’m the founder of Yacht Rock Clothing and Tidal Timepieces—two design-driven ventures built from the ground up. Yacht Rock Clothing captures the breezy, smooth sounds of late-70s and early-80s soft rock with bold, playful graphic apparel and merchandise. Tidal Timepieces offers modern, wave-inspired tide clocks that blend coastal function with clean, intentional design. Across all my work, I aim to create solutions that are not just aesthetically compelling, but thoughtful, purposeful, and built to connect.
