In a cozy hobbit hole in Massachusetts, there’s a girl named Lily — an animator and graphic designer with 6+ years experience leveling up in art direction, freelancing, UX/UI motion design, website design, and photography.

I describe myself as a vivid dreamer, who blends big-picture vision with disciplined action.

My strengths include aesthetics, collaboration, adaptability, strategy, leadership, and remote communication — skills I’ve honed working with teams and clients like GIPHY, ASICS, Mattel, Article, BURROW and more. Not just the big guys, I’m also inspired by the passionate entrepreneurs I’ve helped in bringing their visions to reality.

In 2018, I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art & Design with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Animation. Those 4 incredibly fun years were spent balancing school work with night shifts at Cold Stone Creamery and shifts in the schools work study program. Upon graduating, I was rewarded with the opportunity to showcase my independent film at the Museum of Fine Arts in the Senior Showcase. I truly felt one step closer to the dream that I had since childhood.

From there, I spent the next 5 years on the founding team of a creative marketing studio. Helping to carving out a path forward for us alongside three fellow graduates and friends. We were a small team of big dreamers, and remain so to this day. The work was exciting and my time there allowed me to explore, practice, and commit to a creative living.

My most recent adventure takes me away from traditional full-time and places me on a long-term contract with an amazing team, serving a higher purpose of creating a digital product that helps children in local underserved communities with reading and literacy comprehension.

When my quest log takes me away from my desk you can find me rock climbing, creating concoctions in the kitchen by pickling and fermenting, snapping photos, playing video games, and really just enjoying/exploring life.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
