MY STORY

I grew up in the snowy mountains of Idaho before moving to Seattle in 2012. I quickly fell in love with the city and eventually decided to build both my life and creative career here. Before finding my way into design, my work was rooted in childcare and supporting families through daycare, summer camps, and after-school programs, which led me to earn my first degree in social work. Over time, I discovered graphic design and completely fell for the mix of storytelling, strategy, and visual problem-solving it offers. Outside of work, I love traveling, snowboarding, sewing, baking, gardening, and dreaming up creative projects, from photography to handmade details and the occasional over-the-top birthday celebration.

MY SKILLS

I love making everyday brand moments feel elevated, thoughtful, and full of small moments of surprise and delight. My background is rooted in print, packaging, merchandise, and branded experiences, where layout, hierarchy, and storytelling come together to create something tangible, engaging, and memorable. I thrive in collaborative brainstorms and enjoy shaping big campaign ideas and scalable creative systems that translate across multiple touchpoints. I partner with teams on events, brand awareness campaigns, unboxing experiences, and merchandise programs, and I love creating work that fits seamlessly within a client’s existing identity system. My work also includes web and e-commerce design, whether collaborating with developers or working within CMS platforms, as well as photography direction, from shot lists and on-set guidance to image selects for retail-ready and social content.

MY EXPERIENCE

I’m a Seattle-based Senior Graphic Designer with 11+ years of experience creating concept-driven work across print, packaging, merchandise, digital, retail, and brand experience spaces. My foundation in print taught me how to work within tight timelines, think through production from the start, and bring care and precision to the details without losing sight of the bigger picture. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to create work for brands like T-Mobile, Netflix, Starbucks, Nike, Brooks Running Co., Magnolia Network, and JCPenney, bringing big ideas to life through thoughtful, visually engaging design across both physical and digital spaces. My work also extends into web, retail experience design, and on-set creative direction, and I’m comfortable leading projects from concept through final delivery while collaborating closely with teams across design, strategy, production, and development.

MY COMMUNITY

Community has always been an important part of my creative life. In school, I served as President of the Common Ground Design Club and as the Graphic Design Representative on the student council. I also value using my design skills to support organizations and causes that matter to me. Over the years, I’ve contributed work for ROOTS Young Adult Shelter, NEST Toddlers, Cancer Research And Biostatistics (CRAB), NorthLeaf Cooperative Preschool, Small Faces Child Development Center, Entre Hermanos, and Sheltering Unhoused Neighbors in Western Washington, as well as Black Lives Matter artwork for a local Black-owned business.

MY PASSION
At the end of the day, I’m passionate about creating things that feel thoughtful, beautiful, and full of intention. I find inspiration in art, culture, travel, community, and the small handmade details that make something feel personal and memorable. Whether I’m building a brand experience, making something by hand, or dreaming up a celebration for the people I love, I’m always drawn to work and ideas that bring a little more meaning, joy, and connection into the world.
