A Bit About Me
These values have shaped and defined my life: a thirst for knowledge, fiery zeal for life, mindful discipline, creative wisdom, and a positive worldview. I believe feedback is absolutely critical for the creative process. You will see my hard work, attention to detail, and passion for design in every project I produce. I’m a disc golfer, a snowboarder, a skier, a runner, a yogi, a student of history, a lover of languages and culture, a mother of three, and a wife. I'm passionate about graphic design, production design, and user experience.

Over the years I’ve worked with an extensive range of clients and various mediums. Ranging from Minor League teams to Rec Leagues, from Fortune 500 to Start-Ups; all while maintaining a quick turnaround and excellent client relations. I've done social media campaigns, packaging, displays for trade shows, store displays, copywriting and proofing, print ads, and more.
