My love for design started early — back in parochial school, hand-drawing and cutting felt letters and icons for church banners. I didn’t know yet what typography or graphic design were, but I knew I loved creating things that communicated visually.
That instinct led me to pursue a Fine Art degree with a concentration in Graphic Design. Shortly after graduating, I landed the dreamiest of jobs at a boutique advertising and design agency — coincidentally just blocks from where I’d made those felt shapes as a kid. (I’m sure I’m dating myself by revealing I found them in the Yellow Pages... yes, the actual giant, printed book!)
I spent five incredible years there, learning from talented creative directors and fellow designers, and growing not only as a visual communicator but as a collaborative team member. It was also where I discovered my strength in conceptual thinking and copy – an approach that continues to shape my work.
I’ve been freelancing since 2000, partnering with clients across industries to bring brands and ideas to life. Over the years, I’ve refined my process and learned what it means to be a truly valuable creative partner. For me, great design is about more than how something looks – it's about solving problems, telling stories, and connecting with people.
Today, I bring that same love of letterforms, symbols, and visual storytelling to every project. Whether working with small business owners, alongside agency teams, or in-house, my goal is always the same: to create smart, meaningful design that works, endures, and makes collaboration a genuinely enjoyable experience.
Let’s make something great together.
