I’m happiest when I step away from my laptop to explore art, music, culture, and the breathtaking landscapes that make this planet so amazing. I love getting my hands dirty and choosing “analog” time over endlessly scrolling through feeds – though I probably have more inspirational pins than I’d like to admit!

I’m passionate about visual communication projects that celebrate culture, art, science, and nature. I thrive on process, strategy, and asking why, always pushing creative limits. My specialty is turning ideas into designs that build connection, spark curiosity, and leave a lasting impression. For me, graphic design goes beyond aesthetics – it’s about crafting meaningful experiences that connect people to ideas and places in ways that inspire transformation.

I love diving into design thinking – defining, exploring, prototyping, and learning alongside talented collaborators to develop stronger, more empathetic solutions. My CliftonStrengths – Individualization, Significance, Ideation, Command, and Woo – help me combine empathy with decisive action to produce work that’s both strategic and human-centered. My strengths shape how I connect with people, clarify vision, and lead teams toward design solutions that blend purpose, storytelling, and impact.

When I’m not designing, I’m an avid gardener, an average angler, a whitewater river rat in training, a passionate concert-goer, a world traveler, a museum explorer, and always up for a nature walk – dragging my family and friends along for the adventure.
