Personal pursuits
Outside of work, I'm enjoying life beyond the screen.
Getting tactile at SVA’s RisoLAB 🎨
Last summer I took an intro risograph class and fell in love with getting my hands inked up.
Helping brand (and taste-test at) my friend’s microbakery 🥐
A friend approached me with a concept: her love of baking and my love of branding. I'm happily paid in focaccia and biscotti.
Exploring new cocktail bars 🍸
Find me catching soulful sounds with a live brass band at Apotheke or sipping highballs under swinging lights at Katana Kitten.
Lacing up my skates when I need a digital detox ⛸️
In a former life I was a Team USA figure skater and it’s still my favorite way to get active and reset.
Cuddling with my cat Tiger 🐯
My mom is allergic to anything with fur, so naturally in adulthood I adopted a pet—a 13-year-old Tabby (be prepared for all the cute photos!)
