About Me
I am a graphic designer with experience in visual branding, writing and editing web content, digital marketing and social content. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Fortune 500 companies, non-profits and solopreneurs to create design solutions that are effective and engaging.
Through my professional work in the field and my extensive education in graphic, web and interior design, I’ve developed an exacting sense of color, a devotion to the design process and a meticulous attention to detail.
Outside of design, I enjoy DIY home projects, working out and traveling.
