My Story

I’m a Senior Creative with over 15 years of experience turning ideas into visuals that connect, inspire, and tell a story. My love for design started young when I was captivated by magazines and the way images could evoke emotion and tell stories without words.

I studied Journalism and Marketing at CU Boulder, then honed my skills at The BookShop in Los Angeles, collaborating with top agencies and creative directors to build my portfolio. Originally planning to be a copywriter, I quickly discovered my true passion was in design and imagery. I took design classes while in the program and shifted my focus to embrace the visual side of storytelling.

With a background in writing, marketing, and design, I bring a holistic perspective to every project. I focus on creating work that resonates with the audience, meets business goals, and creates curiosity and emotion.

Experience and Approach

I started my career at the E.W. Scripps Company as a Web Designer, focusing on digital graphics and user interface design. I later expanded into print design and production. I have collaborated with corporate and creative teams to translate complex data and stories into visuals that inform and engage diverse audiences.

I take a collaborative and strategic approach. I involve clients and stakeholders throughout the design process with checkpoints and milestones. This keeps projects aligned with business goals, ensures multiple perspectives are included, and allows ideas to evolve into the strongest possible solution.

I have developed creative initiatives for high-profile brands that engage audiences, solve challenges, build loyalty, and deliver measurable results.
