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 founded Yacht Rock Clothing and Tidal Timepieces —two ventures built from the ground up, focused on branding, product design, and e-commerce. Yacht Rock Clothing channels the breezy spirit of late-70s and early-80s soft rock into playful graphic apparel, while Tidal Timepieces creates modern, wave-inspired tide clocks that balance coastal function with clean design.
