About Me

If you haven’t guessed it by now, I’m a designer. I make things pretty—posters, flyers, billboards, banners, apparel, merchandise, packaging, websites, apps, event displays, door and vehicle wraps, logos, programs, proposals, booklets, worksheets, forms—you name it, I’ve probably touched it at some point in my career. I love to create, I love to learn, and I love to use my talents to make the world a better place. I’m driven by making things that work well and look good.

I have worked as an independent designer, as a designer in an agency setting, and as an in-house designer for several large non-profit organizations. Among all these experiences, I’ve found the most fulfillment when my work has an eternal purpose. I may never know how my creations have played a small part in the bigger picture of someone’s life. Maybe they saw that flyer I made and came to that event where they made some awesome memories with friends and family. Or maybe they read that booklet I spent hours putting together in InDesign and said one small prayer that changed the course of their eternity.

When I’m not creating at work, I’m creating in my free time. Sewing, writing, and playing guitar feed my insatiable imagination. I love hiking the beautiful Colorado front range, riding my motorcycle in the summer, skiing in the winter, and hanging out at home with my husband and our two rat terriers.
