My career began as a graphic designer and brand manager, where I became fully enamored with all aspects of design and effective communication. A little over a year ago I realized that my passion did not stem from my personal creativity, but actually from those around me. After a bit of soul-searching and trying to figure out "what I wanted to do when I grew up," I decided to become a creative recruiter. I have found this to be the most challenging, fun, and rewarding opportunity that I've ever had. I love meeting new designers, learning from them, making long-lasting relationships, and pairing them with jobs they love.
