I uncovered my passion for design in college, halfway through my journalism degree. Somewhere around mentally redesigning every room I walked into and being more excited about the layout of my stories than actually writing them, I realized I wanted to create for a living.

For over 15 years, I’ve executed creative vision and strategy across all mediums, while managing teams and creative operations for major brands in both agencies and in-house teams. With a background designing for industries including food & beverage, hospitality, retail, beauty & wellness, sports & entertainment, education, and nonprofit – my experience has fueled my passion for creative innovation, while nurturing and developing brands.

After growing up in Illinois, I traded brutal Midwest winters for brutal Arizona summers (subjectively the lesser evil). So when I’m not solving creative problems, I’m enjoying that desert sunshine with my husband, kids, and pups. And during spare moments, consuming as many books and tv shows as possible – coffee or old fashioned preferably in hand.
