About me

Hi, I'm Helen. I started out working in a variety of industries - from the art and illustration world to global design and marketing agencies. In every case, I always found myself drawn to how good design can better connect people on common interests and create opportunities for collaboration.

Continuous learning helps stave off boredom. I believe in honing skills, homing in on underlying user needs in every design problem, and using the Oxford comma.

Find me in NYC (for most days of the year) or online below.
