As a Cleveland Institute of Art graduate with a focus on Graphic Design, I’ve always been passionate about how design blends creativity and functionality. Over the years, freelancing has given me the chance to work on various projects, which has helped me sharpen my skills in creating designs that look good and serve a clear purpose.Recently, I’ve taken on the role of Marketing Director at The Black River Tavern, where I handle everything from branding to event promotion, using my design background to connect with our audience meaningfully. As a Graphic Designer at Evergreen Podcasts, I get to bring stories to life with visuals that connect and engage viewers. This role has helped me grow as both a designer and a marketer, pushing me to find fresh ways to create designs that feel very meaningful. My background as a teacher also plays a huge role—teaching taught me how to communicate ideas clearly and guide others, which has deepened my approach to design.
