About

Hey there! I’m a RISD alumnus, graphic designer, writer, filmmaker, and #insulin4all advocate living with type 1 diabetes. My work tends to revolve around the two things that give me life: cycling and insulin.

I am currently freelancing while working on my feature-length documentary about the Trans Am Bike Race and deaf cyclist Sonny Rasmussen.

I’ve recently moved from NYC to the Netherlands, a country built around the bicycle where I can finally safely do what I love. :)

Please reach out. I am open to new projects and work!
