Press Coverage

Kartell

Marketing Director
Communications, press coverage, editorial placements,
partnership management.

Beginning as a graphic design contractor at Kartell, I advanced to Marketing Associate and ultimately U.S. Marketing Director, where I led high-profile collaborations that positioned the brand at the intersection of design, fashion, and pop culture.

I spearheaded major partnerships with Mattel and Missoni, including the Barbie 65th Anniversary and UNO x Kartell launches, as well as the Eleganza Missoni collection debut during Milan Fashion Week. These campaigns reimagined Philippe Starck's iconic pieces and were showcased at premier events like Milan Design Week and distributed through 400+ U.S. retail partners including Nordstrom and MoMA.

Additionally, I secured an exclusive design partnership with The Armory Show for two consecutive years, further cementing Kartell's presence in the contemporary art world.

This role allowed me to blend strategic marketing leadership with creative vision, building bridges between luxury design and cultural moments that resonated with diverse audiences.

Musée Magazine

Newsletter Editor
Graphic design, web design, email engagment.

At Musée Magazine, I launched a newsletter initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic that significantly increased online engagement and helped the publication maintain its connection with readers during a critical time.

I directed data-driven audience campaigns to grow subscriber engagement and expand reach, working closely with web developers and data analysts to optimize newsletter backend systems and refine audience segmentation strategies.

Leading a cross-functional team of writers and curators, I designed scalable newsletter architectures that enhanced reader experience while reinforcing the magazine's editorial vision.

This role combined strategic thinking with creative collaboration, allowing me to bridge the gap between editorial content and digital infrastructure to build meaningful connections with readers.

Document Journal

Editorial Assistant
Writing, fact-checking, graphic design, editing

As an Editorial Assistant at Document Journal, I contributed to the publication's coverage of fashion, culture, sustainability, and New York's art scene through multifaceted editorial work.

My responsibilities included writing and editing articles, fact-checking content, and providing graphic design support to ensure visual and editorial cohesion. I conducted exclusive interviews with notable figures including photographer Tyler Mitchell, artist Frank Holiday, and musician Mavi Phoenix, translating these conversations into compelling editorial content.

This role allowed me to develop a versatile skill set spanning journalism, design, and cultural criticism while working at the intersection of contemporary art, fashion, and social consciousness.

The Girls Upstairs

Graphic Designer
Design, Branding, Social Media

As the graphic designer for indie rock band The Girls Upstairs, I developed a comprehensive visual identity across multiple platforms and media. My work spanned album artwork, merchandise design, promotional flyers, and wheat paste posters for street-level marketing campaigns, all crafted using Adobe Creative Suite.

I also created engaging content for their social media presence, designing TikToks and Instagram posts that helped build their brand and connect with fans. This multifaceted role allowed me to translate the band's sonic aesthetic into cohesive visual storytelling that supported both their digital presence and grassroots promotional efforts.

Casey Craig PR

Web Designer

Video Production, UX

For Casey Craig PR, I designed and developed a custom website that established a polished digital presence for the public relations firm. I conceptualized and executed the entire site architecture and layout using Wix, ensuring an intuitive user experience that reflected the brand's professional identity.

To create an engaging entry point, I produced an opening video using Adobe Premiere that set the tone for the site and immediately communicated the firm's creative approach.

This project encompassed the full design process from initial concept through final execution, resulting in a cohesive digital platform that effectively showcased the firm's services and elevated their brand positioning.

Master’s Thesis - Columbia University

Writer, interviewer, photographer

My master's project was a glimpse into various Gen-Z sober communities in New York City and how their interpersonal relationships impacted their lives. It was a 6,000 word thesis paired with 25 original photographs and received honors when submitted to Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism.

Out of the ten sober Gen-Z Americans living in New York City interviewed for this project, fifty percent mentioned a newfound desire to live as a reason for their sobriety. Nearly all of them have lost a best friend, a partner, a sibling or an acquaintance to an overdose; intentional or accidental.

Bachelor’s Thesis - The New School

Writer, interviewer, graphic designer

My undergraduate thesis was a self-published zine exploring the effects that media has on those who suffer from disordered eating. Specifically the experiences of women and non-binary poeple living within the United States. It features personal accounts from seven affected individuals, and interviews with experts including A Doctor of Nutritional Psychology and the Director of Support Services at the National Eating Disorder Association. It is currently on display at the New School’s Archives and Special Collection Library.
