My Story

My Story

Ive always been curious about people, from anthropology and sociology to the ways culture and belief systems shape how we see the world. That curiosity taught me to see individuality as something beautiful, and its what pulled me into design: figuring out what makes people stop, notice, and connect with a brand.

My career began with photography, starting with portraits and product shots, and quickly grew into SEO, web design, product development and branding. I helped launch Lone Cone with incredible marketing mentors, building it into a brand that scaled quickly and opened the door to new opportunities. From that success, we expanded into an agency supporting outdoor gear brands, where I began my path in creative leadership.

Im an analytical creative, part type A and part type B, able to toggle between structure and big-picture thinking. I push back against the idea that creative is an afterthought, especially in e-commerce, where photos, brand voice, and even color schemes can change how people feel about a product. For me, creative is proof that design matters and drives results.

Curious about where creative can take us? So am I.

Brand

Philosophy

A brand is not a logo or a tagline. It’s a living story, built from every detail, that makes people feel something real. Consistency makes it believable. Story makes it unforgettable.

The Person Behind the Work

I'm someone that loves a good book, good coffee, her family, and the outdoors. You can find me walking in the forest with my dog and husband, or soaking up the sun taking in a good book. The saying may be cheesy, but I work as hard as I play, and I really like to get out there.

In my spare time I volunteer for a Great Dane rescue, and practice my hobbies.
