I’m a creative with over 18 years of experience - and I love all things art and design. My focus is on delivering a unique expression tailored to each client. I provide trend insight, curate themes, and craft visual brand messaging. I create compelling concepts to bring product launches and brand campaigns to life. I pride myself on balancing creativity with being a skilled technician. From art directing a photo shoot to exploring and researching new solutions, ideating on a product, wire framing a print or digital experience, designing a logo, each day presents a set of exciting new challenges.

 

My philosophy for success starts with my drive to create relationships. I am deeply curious by nature and love to listen and collaborate. I am inspired by connection and consider this the greatest tool to pull together impressive work. Working with diverse individuals to bring a vision to life is truly inspiring. I enjoy helping those around me take risks and move through failed attempts gracefully.

 

In my experience, people excel when they feel heard and supported. I strive to show up every day to provide support in any way I can. I like to create an atmosphere that enables open dialogue and debate because ultimately, that is how we achieve stronger creative outcomes. I do my best to demonstrate that a sense of humor and a listening ear can help tremendously in stressful situations.

​

Though, my professional skills are vast and varied - I'm much more than a portfolio loaded with client specific work. I love working with my hands, whether it's drawing, painting, or strumming some tunes on my guitar or ukulele (often badly). And being a single mom to two awesome kiddos is the best gig ever. I'm a big believer in staying positive and finding the funny side of life. I enjoy being with people and embrace my solitude. I'm always looking for opportunities to add to my new, usually fun, occasionally chaotic deeply introspective life.
