A tech geek with over 17 years of experience as a graphic designer, marketing strategist, and PR consultant, I help entrepreneurs and businesses boost their brand, create or refresh their marketing materials, and get noticed by new clients and customers. In a former life, I was a freelance writer/concert photographer covering the rock music scene, and a fitness pro. I love to bring creative visions to life across different marketing channels. I'm skilled with Adobe Creative Cloud software (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), Canva, PowerPoint, Descript, Figma, WordPress, MailerLite, Kajabi and more, and am always clamoring to learn new tools and techniques. I also help businesses increase their web visibility through search engine optimization (SEO) and digital PR. Staying on top of ADA accessibility standards is very important to me, because everyone should be able to use the internet (hence also why I use very few emojies).Aside from doing the work, I love teaching others how to DIY their own marketing, design and publicity. (Perhaps also why I loved teaching fitness classes... once a teacher, always a teacher?)I work with clients on a flexible basis, offering hourly, half-day, freelance, or full VIP packages. If you need help with graphic design, web design, marketing, or PR, let's connect and chat.TLDR;if you got this far... hey, thanks!I hail from the days when wax rollers were a thing in graphic design and Photoshop didn’t have layers. When I jumped into the online space, it was love at first byte. I’ve worked with clients large and small while sometimes traveling the world as a digital nomad.The Side HustlesAs side gigs, I wore spandex/lycra for over 15 years as a certified personal trainer and spinning/group exercise instructor after losing more than 80 pounds naturally. I've written several book on losing weight while still eating chocolate and now host a free walking podcast (Walking & Talking with Helen) that motivates people to get their bodies moving, however they can.Other gigs include a stint as a rock concert photographer and entertainment/travel writer. That was epic, and it taught me so much about persistence and taking bold action. You can't quit in the photo pit.
