Hi there! I’m Trudy, a brand designer & art director based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I fell in love with design in 2004, creating “magazines” on my home computer and printing them (sorry, mom) to share with friends.

Now ten years into my career, my work has spanned brand design, performance marketing, 360° campaigns, visual design systems, art direction, and more. My approach has always been equal parts empathy and strategy—I love to combine data with real, authentic insight to shape brands and move the needle.

When I’m not designing, you can often find me interpreting natal charts (don’t be surprised when I ask what time you were born!), embracing my “beginner’s mind” (making a fool of myself) at a pottery class, or dangling things in front of my cat, Evie.
