I’m a Los Angeles-based Creative Director, systems designer, and mentor. For over 15 years, I’ve focused on building smart, scalable brand systems and led collaborative teams to tell stories that resonate and connect with people.

My career started in New York assisting fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier before moving to L.A. to work across leading fashion, lifestyle, and fitness publications. Merging my background in graphic design and photography, I went on to lead creative for in-house organizations and agencies—including UCLA, the Natural History Museum, and SCI-Arc. In 2014, I launched Golden Design Studio, spending nearly a decade crafting impactful brand identities for prominent Southern California institutions, and most recently served as Design Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, Brand & Design.

When I’m not leading creative teams, you’ll find me going for runs around the neighborhood, practicing yoga, cooking up a storm for family and friends, and making lists for just about anything.
