hi! :D
it all started when i began teaching myself html and css back in 2006. in 2011, as a (then) navy wife, my career path felt stuck after the fourth military move. while stationed in newport, ri, i seized the opportunity to study at the rhode island school of design (risd). there, i immersed myself in design principles, critiquing, the technology behind modern design, and developing my minimalist style. i was in love. two years later, i graduated with a certificate in graphic design.
i also hold a bachelor of arts with a double major in anthropology and political science. at risd, i brought that background into conceptual design—taking my love of research to deeply understand a client’s mission and needs, building concepts that reflect them at their core. for me, design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a cohesive vision where every element ties back to one unifying idea.
my personal concept is joy. my brand reflects the joy i find in everything i do—approaching each project with passionate curiosity and uncovering the wonder within my clients’ businesses. i aim to infuse every design with a sense of delight and discovery.
i also strive to use sustainable design practices wherever possible, recommending eco-friendly options like soy ink, recycled paper, and environmentally-conscious printing.
