I’ve always been a maker. As a kid, it was paper crafts, homemade cards, and rearranging my bedroom just to see how it felt. These days, it’s photography, design, or a list of new ideas I’m quietly building in the background—usually with a coffee nearby and my girls asking to help.

I’m a Midwest mama, a reader of fiction, a golfer when I can sneak away, and a problem-solver at heart. I’ve never been the loudest in the room, but I notice the small things—the details, the patterns, the why behind what works. That’s what drew me to design in the first place: the idea that beautiful, thoughtful things can solve real problems.

I work best in creative spaces that value collaboration, clarity, and a bit of personality. Whether I’m sketching out a packaging concept, tweaking type, or reworking layout flow, I lead with intention and calm energy. I believe design should be functional, feel good, and leave just enough space for delight.

When I’m not designing, I’m probably dreaming up my next craft night, re-reading a favorite book, or chasing light with my camera. I like to create the kind of work that speaks softly but sticks with you—clear, clever, and maybe a little unexpected.

Quiet thinker. Joyful maker. Big fan of a well-organized checklist.

Let’s make something meaningful together.
