Let's Get to Know Each Other
ScrollWelcome. I'm so glad you're here. Let me tell you about me
I am an Art Director, UX Designer, Graphic Artist, UI Designer, and Senior Web Designer. Simply put, I create visual solutions on various media – be they digital or traditional. I visually communicate messages and direct the 'conversation' you want to have with your audience.
I am the person who believes the function is most important, but form will impact your results. And I can help you make those result positive.
Classically educated and trained as a Designer, my background is rooted in color theory, typography, layout, grids and communication. I will always love printed media, with it's tactile ephemera - but I've successfully translated my skills to digital formats.
Born with a strong work ethic and a strict adherence to deadlines; I flourish in my career thanks to my organizational skills, efficient use of time and fast-paced nature. I do great work and I make it easy for you to work with me.
I love what I do, but life isn’t all about work. Outside of pushing pixels, I spend the majority of time with hanging with my adorable dog, Milo, knitting scarves, sewing baby-blankets and generally DIYing.
