About

Art was always where my interests and strengths came together, so choosing a major felt like an easy decision. My high school art teacher introduced me to the Art Academy of Cincinnati, & thankfully I got in because I hadn't applied anywhere else! I took two years of fine art foundations, including painting, drawing, photography, & sculpture and then chose Graphic Design as my focus. Classes were split between the Cincinnati Art Museum & the Mt. Adams campus, where I learned to parallel park while hauling a tackle box of supplies, a giant portfolio case, and a backpack up and down some very steep hills. This photo was taken on graduation day with my grandmothers.

This photo is from my first job as a graphic designer at a company that created custom Hershey bar wrappers for birth announcements, weddings, and special events. I'm pictured proudly posing beside my very large Apple desktop computer.

Over the years, I went on to work as an in-house designer for a residential properties company, a digital health company, and a technology company, while taking on freelance projects along the way.

In more recent years, I had the opportunity to work at a start-up advertising company and experienced the agency side of the industry after years as an in-house designer. From there, I moved into a Creative Director and Marketing Lead role for an e-commerce company.

That experience gave me a behind-the-scenes look at how businesses actually work: how ideas become products, how stories are shared, and how you connect with the people who need what you're creating. Those lessons have been invaluable in building this business today.

After more than twenty years of marriage and raising two incredible kids, life has begun to look a little different. With fewer practices and school pickups filling the calendar, I've found space to return to something that has always been part of me: making art.

This season feels less like starting over and more like coming back to myself. My hope is to create meaningful work, inspire curiosity, and stay open to whatever possibilities come next. The future feels bright.
