Turning ordinary messages into visually bold statements.
Blending my love for art and desire to make a creative impact with every project I take on. Let's work together!
A Little Bit About Me ...
Growing up in Sonoma County, art was always my number one passion. Taking every art class imaginable, it wasn’t until after high school and a solid amount of junior college units, that I finally understood my career path to venture upon, Graphic Design. With my AA Degree in hand, I packed up my life, moved to Sacramento, and worked the hardest I ever had to learn everything I could from my professors. Three VERY long years later, I crossed the stage with my Bachelors Degree and have continued creating as a freelancer located in Santa Rosa. Not most can genuinely say that they love what they do, but I fortunately do everyday. Please scroll to see my work and reach out if you feel we’re a fit for your design needs!

From new business startups to revamping fully established companies, I believe it's key to create consistent messages and styles to attract target audiences across web and print.
Project Management
For years I have overseen projects from start to finish following through within proposed deadlines and with client satisfaction as a top priority. I don't just design, I manage with transparency.
Photography
My creative passion has lead me to broaden my skills in capturing and editing images using Photoshop. Quality photography adds a unique element to web and print designs.
Illustration
Understanding a client's vision and their needs, illustration work relies heavily on initial sketches. I work transparently with clients to produce the best digital solutions.

I dive into what the design ultimately will hold before beginning to fully encompass a package's design. The attraction and visual experience is crucial to sell the product.
