About

I’m a marketer-turned-content designer with a penchant for problem solving. I've spent the past 15 years creating content of all types — from blog posts to videos, microcopy to product education.

When I'm not working, I'm making things. I'm an animator and aspiring letterpress printmaker. My Jersey City apartment is overflowing with markers, paper, and ideas.

I’m also a life-long learner. I’m currently pursuing a Masters in Happiness Studies, which I’m set to wrap up in December 2025.

Cole Quest & The City Pickers music videos

Since late 2020 I’ve been working through a collection of music videos for Cole Quest & The City Pickers. Three have been released so far — with more on the way. The animations are made from hand-drawn illustrations, brought to life in After Effects.

Watch ‘em all!

Hand drawn & stop motion animation

I’ve been dabbling in animation since the early 2000s. But I dove headfirst into doing more animation (and improving my skills) with a 100 Day Project that started in the fall of 2018. Here’s what came out of that project.

 
 

Words and well-being: Shaping a better reality through language

As a Content Designer, I think a lot about words and how they shape our experiences with digital products. Lately, I’ve been thinking about how words can influence our happiness, too.

While getting my Masters in Happiness Studies, I went down a rabbit hole exploring the connection between words and well-being. I put together an article with some of what I’ve learned so far in case you’re curious to join me down this rabbit hole. Words are the best!
