more about me ...

I never get bored! Some days you'll find me exploring Adobe's newest tools; other days I'm in my studio surrounded by an unreasonable number of clowns or building brand decks for cannabis startups (a personal favorite).

My work lives at the intersection of thought and feeling. It's human, intuitive, and a little unexpected, balancing strategic thinking with visual storytelling to create work that people genuinely connect with.

I've grown through roles as a high school art, design, and photography teacher, collaborator, entrepreneur, and freelance designer, building a practice rooted in problem-solving, curiosity, and clear communication.

 

When I'm not designing, you'll find me writing or at hot yoga, both of which keep me grounded & inspired:)
