Bringing artsy expertise to the entrepreneurial space
designer. strategist. Creative director.
I'm a bit of a nerd and I'm learning to embrace it.
Obsession with personality studies
I help brands embody a distinct persona. I’m an Enneagram Type 6w5, the Loyalist and Investigator combo — which means I can’t help but be comprehensively thorough with the details to make sure you feel confident in our brand decisions.
What informs my creative approach?
6+ years of branding experience
I’ve seen how effective branding builds momentum and fosters connection. While freelancing for local agencies and businesses, I worked on a multi-faceted creative team at a non-profit for 5 years. I designed experiential brands for live events and practiced additional skills in writing, art direction, and photography.

My developing design skills were shaped by industry-experienced professors with tried and true knowledge of design principles and best practices. I enjoyed learning among peers and oddly loved having my work critiqued in order to constantly improve.
