Hello, it's nice to meet you!

I love to create, whether it’s a layout for a retail sign, an oil painting, or altering my ever–growing landscape. I’m an honest person who is dedicated to making thought–provoking design solutions that grab your attention. What delights me: spending time with my adventurous husband and daughters, eating sushi and listening to indie rock. But if you really want to steal my heart, take me to a karaoke bar!

Getting to know my clients and what they do is as fun for me as the design process itself. I like to maintain friendships with my clients long after the work is done and have freelanced for 3 of my past employers. Whether it’s a wedding invitation or a corporate brochure, I put my all into the project.  I am very budget-minded myself and I do everything I can to help my clients get the most bang for their buck.

My family is everything to me and we like to do things together. I also obsessively love to garden.
