Creative and Strategic Designer, Writer and Marketer
Communicating through visuals and written copy has always come natural to me. As a little girl, I’d always claim “signmaker” or “brochure designer” as my profession when playing make-believe (odd choice, but it’s true!). And when my parents considered surrendering our overly-hyper dog to the shelter, it was my expertly crafted poem accompanied by a meticulously hand-drawn portrait that convinced them to let us keep her. I was a nine-year old marketer and storyteller in the making.
Now, as a seasoned marketing and design professional I get to communicate brand stories and messages for a living. While my visually artistic side shines through creating still and motion graphics for web, video, social media, and print projects, I’m also a super organized strategy nerd who loves creating game plans for marketing campaigns and writing well-thought-out copy to get the right message to the right audience. I also really enjoy planning and executing video and photo shoots with some of the best people in the business.

I’m a doer, a go-getter, and an early-riser who’s willing to get my hands dirty and wear many hats to get the job done. Driven by compassion for others and a mutual respect for my teammates, I love working together toward a common goal, yet I also thrive when left to my own devices to bring a project full circle.
When I’m not hard at work, I like to be in my creative zone. That may look like a DIY project or some good ol’ fashioned arts and crafts. But the most unique way I’ve been able to flex my creative muscle is through tattoo design for some very trusting, amazing friends. Talk about an honor!
Aside from the arts, I’m also passionate about fitness and enjoy many ways of staying active like lifting, hiking, rockclimbing and kickboxing. I believe that nature is good for the soul and nothing is a better mood booster than snuggling my fur babies.
