I had been thinking of doing a little recap post in the new year to share some of my favorite work and all the cool, fun, pretty projects I got to create in 2024. Then I found out a couple days ago that my position at Minted has been eliminated as part of a restructuring. So now this post has turned into, look at all the cool, fun, pretty work I created, don’t you want to hire me?!!
This news has kind of blindsided me but I’m excited to create new amazing work somewhere else. So please reach out if you know anyone or anywhere that is looking for an art director or creative director in the Bay Area or remote, freelance or full-time. Any and all leads are so appreciated.
Also huge shoutout to all the creative collaborators I got a chance to work with at my time at Minted and helped make this amazing work alongside me.

Thank you to everyone for the kind messages after I posted about the closing of the Bitte store the other day. I’ve been a little quiet about it here, but I’ve been in the process of transitioning away from Bitte since last July. It was a bittersweet decision, but it was time, for a lot of reasons. I am really proud of what we created and I will cherish the experience and all the memories from the last 7+ years of building what I think is an amazing brand.
I’m also really excited for my next chapter. For those that don’t know I started a new job as Art director at @minted a few months ago! It’s been so fun to tackle something new and work with an amazing new team! So here’s to closing one chapter and saying hello to new adventures!
📸 a few favorite memories from photo shoots and events over the years.
I realized I never did a back to school post for Ansel (2nd kid problems) so I took some pictures today at preschool drop-off. His last year of preschool before kinder next year!
First day of 2nd grade! Ansel cried all morning because he was going to miss Ingrid, but Ingrid was ready to go and so confident to start her 2nd grade year. Ansel starts back to preschool next week so hopefully that will help with the transition.
We’re having a pop-up at the @shopbitte with two amazing brands @echeri_ceramics and @earthtuface ! If you’re in Sacramento come by and say hi and do a little shopping!
