I'm a Designer with a passion for helping brands tell stories through thoughtful messaging and impactful imagery. I find joy in the creative process and love transforming ideas into purposeful design.

My career has taken an unconventional path! I began as an Art Director in Los Angeles, working at several advertising agencies before spending twenty years as an elementary school teacher. My years in education strengthened my ability to understand different perspectives and ask thoughtful questions and get to know my audience. By choice, I’m returning to design with a richer perspective on all things communication and an emphasis on human connection.

I'm focused on creating audience-focused experiences that are both strategic and visually engaging. I know great design isn't just about aesthetics—it should feel authentic, communicate clearly, and inspire. Whether I'm developing a brand identity or art directing a campaign, my goal is to create work that tells a compelling story and leaves a lasting impression.

When I’m not working on my Mac, I’m pursuing my incessant need to find delight in the world. You’ll find me collecting purple beach rocks, playing pickleball, designing with succulents, or enjoying a hazy IPA at a local San Diego brewery.
