My creative story begins in the midwest where my affinity for the written word compelled me to pursue a BA in Mass Communications/Journalism by day while dreaming of the Rocky Mountains by night. Shortly after graduation, I followed that dream and headed west to plant new roots in the eastern foothills of Colorado. By that time, (as much as I still savor words), I'd discovered that my real passion lay in telling stories visually, with color and shape, texture and typography, and ample white space. Now, on the cusp of my 20th year as a designer, I've developed a deep and diverse background crafting brands for a wide range of industries including education, government, healthcare, technology and energy, to name a few. Both a creative and analytical designer, I understand that great design is so much more than pretty artwork. Design is a critical component to audience comprehension and acceptance, and with each and every challenge my number one goal is to tell a client’s story clearly with clean, thoughtful and eye-catching graphics.At any given moment, I nimbly transition from print to digital demands — creating logos and brand standards for an organization aiding the growth and development of young children, to reimagining a website for a regional news powerhouse with an audience of over one million.
