Creative by birth.

Designer by choice.

I'm a graphic designer specializing in print, web, identity, and illustrative design. With over six years of professional experience, I've had the pleasure of working with some talented creative teams and a wide variety of clients.

Who am I?

From fingerpainting and doodling to typography and metalsmithing, I have always employed my natural curiosity through a variety of artistic media. With a B.A. degree in Fine Arts and Graphic Design, I graduated from Indiana University in 2006.

I moved from Indiana to Washington, D.C. in 2009, and enjoy every minute of living in the District. I'm a proud "Auntie Em" of two, and when I'm not designing, I enjoy golf, hiking, playing piano, attending concerts, and spending time with my hyperactive parakeet, Butterball.

What I've created.
