ABOUT ME
I bring a deeply personal connection to my craft. For me, art and design are not just professional pursuits; they are my primary modes of communication and healing. With a background in art psychotherapy, I've spent over a decade helping individuals tell their stories of triumph over life's challenges through art.
My journey from art therapist and mental health professional to illustrative and graphic designer has uniquely shaped my approach to my work. Every project is an opportunity to connect with audiences on a profound level, leveraging my fluency in visual language to evoke emotions and inspire change.
Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite—encompassing Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and AfterEffects—alongside Procreate, I merge technical expertise with heartfelt expression to create impactful visual narratives. Whether it's a film festival poster, promotional material, or a digital ad campaign, each design is infused with a passion for storytelling and a commitment to fostering empathy and understanding.
Recognized with awards (e.g., The Fifty Student Award from the Ad Club of Colorado) and accolades (e.g., RMCAD Summa Cum Laude) for my innovative designs, I am driven by a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of art. Through my work, I aim to not only captivate audiences but also facilitate healing and connection, one design at a time.
MY MISSION
I believe in the transformative power of storytelling through illustration and graphic design. My mission is to empower individuals and brands to express their unique narratives authentically and creatively. Through my bespoke visual solutions, I aim to captivate audiences, spark connections, and leave a lasting impact.
I am committed to crafting designs that not only reflect my clients' visions and values but also inspire and resonate with their target audience. At the heart of my mission lies a dedication to fostering creativity, authenticity, connection, and empowerment in everything I do.
