About Me

I’m a graphic designer, marketing strategist, and educator who loves bringing ideas to life through thoughtful, intentional design. My work blends creativity and strategy, but at the heart of it, I just really care about telling good stories and helping people feel connected.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me sketching, birdwatching, fishing, or trying to figure out how many plants is too many. (Still no clear answer.) I believe in slow mornings, good conversations, and the kind of design that makes people feel at home.

I see learning as an endless adventure.

There’s always something new to discover, and I love every second of it.

This curiosity fuels my creativity and helps me bring fresh ideas and innovative solutions to every project. I thrive in fast-paced, ever-changing environments where I can juggle different roles and pivot on the fly. I’m known for my resourcefulness, and if there’s a problem to solve, you can bet I’m already deep-diving into research (my Googling skills are next-level). Finding answers and creative workarounds is just part of who I am.
