I was born and raised in Paris, France. In May, I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in Graphic Design. I have substantial graphic, digital and publishing experience. I have worked on a range of projects from layout design to environmental graphics.
After having worked at two publishing houses two summers in a row, I have developed a strong interest in pursuing a career in magazine layout, however, my time at DVF has opened my eyes to many more possibilities regarding the graphic design craft.
From September 1st to February 24th,
I was a Creative Intern at Diane von Furstenberg's Studio in Manhattan, observing and learning about the
design field within a fashion context.
I've been freelancing in-house at Travel and Leisure Magazine ever since, and freelancing from home for the Sundance Channel's online presence.
I provide branding, illustration, layout design, print design, corporate identity (logo) design and web design. If you're looking for something in particular, please feel free to send an email.
I am living in New York City, working
full-time freelance for Travel and Leisure Magazine. I'd love to have a job with benefits... anyone looking?
I aspire to work with artists and individuals who want to make their
ideas come to life through the power
of design.
