I’m a graphic designer, illustrator, and fine artist based in the pacific northwest. I graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle with an Associates of Applied Arts degree. I currently live in Lynden, Washington (100 miles north of Seattle) near the Canadian border with my husband and our cat, Taco.

Art has been my passion since I was a child, and becoming a graphic designer has allowed me the opportunity to be creative, as well as make a living. With over 20 years of experience I’ve had the great opportunity to work with lots of amazing companies - one in the natural health foods industry, a large jewelry company in Hong Kong, numerous local non-profits, and even BP, and Puget Sound Energy! My areas of expertise include print design, packaging, branding, and illustration.

My career development goals include additional training and opportunities in web design, Google Analytics, SEO, social media marketing, video and animation, as well as email and SMS marketing.

When I’m not designing, you can find me at my local spin class (my new obsession), trail running, reading, cooking, hiking, or enjoying a perfect cup of matcha tea.
