I’ve been building brands and visual worlds since 2001. After receiving my BFA in graphic design, my career started in the advertising agency realm of campaigns, commercials, and copy. Coming back to the Pacific Northwest, I joined the Starbucks global creative team and a few years later Hornall Anderson Design Works. All amazing places where I honed my design skills and discovered my bold and playful sense of style.

For the past 16 years, running a small studio has allowed me to be passionate about the clients I have, and the work I create for them. This passion, paired with experience, enables me to produce smart, effective solutions.

As a strategy driven Creative Director and industry veteran, I’ve had the privilege of working on projects for Amazon, eBay, Oracle, Wiliot, Nordstrom, GoldieBlox, Walgreens, Intracorp, and Starbucks.

My commitment to excellence in a field I genuinely enjoy builds lasting client relationships, creative with integrity, and the satisfaction of a job well done.

What can’t you live without?

Color, pattern, and texture.

What’s your dream project?

Something that involves wallpaper, textiles, candles, geriatric animals, vintage jewelry, sweet treats, and sick beats. Not necessarily in that order. So a pet sanctuary gift shop dance-off home decor candy stand. If that’s you, call me. If not, that’s ok, I’ll still work with you.

What design aesthetic do you love or loathe?

Design is a feast. Why miss out by dismissing an entire genre. I can appreciate all kinds of artistic expression, when executed well. I’m a here for it all sort of gal.

Any words of wisdom?

Instead of letting ‘Why would you do that?’ damper your passions, turn it up to a bestie-hype-pop-ballad-level of ‘Why wouldn’t you do that?! What’s the best that could happen?!’
