Nice to Meet You!
I’m the Founder of Darling Magazine and a creative consultant passionate about making brands, platforms, and products beautiful.
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.”
I’m the Founder of Darling Media, a global company encouraging women to embrace their unique beauty, identity and purpose. I launched Darling as the first magazine to not photoshop people on Kickstarter 15 years ago and built the brand organically with a powerful team. I’ve directed over 300 photo shoots and overseen thousands of pieces of content and manage a digital following of over 300,000 that is now a social movement with the hashtag, #thatsdarling with over 24MM tags.
I’m proud of the impact Darling has had on the advertising and publishing industries and grateful to have worked with hundreds of celebrities and influencers such as Kristen Bell, Meghan Markle, Tracee Ellis Ross, America Ferrera and Rachel Brosnahan. Over the years, I’ve used the philosophy behind Darling to help brands such as Alaska Airlines, Aerie, UGG and Nike create deeper content and experiences to further their company goals.
My passion for media began after graduating with a BA from Concordia University in Studio Art. I started my career in film and fashion as a professional model and actress with Wilhelmina, a top agency in Los Angeles. I appeared in national campaigns for clients such as Target, InStyle Magazine and many more. In this industry, I found a passion to broaden the ideals of “beauty” and so created Darling. I’ve been interviewed on outlets such as CNN, NBC, Refinery 29 and Huffington Post and speak nationally on the movement of Darling.
I love disruptive and innovative creativity and am passionate about helping others tell the story of their brand or personal platform through powerful visuals and words. I’m glad you’re here, and hope to work together to further the impact of whatever is on your heart.
