Imaginative and diligent graphic designer solving your design problems, beautifully.
Originally from Connecticut, I graduated from The New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University in Boston, MA. After receiving my BFA, I remained in Boston and designed marketing materials, branding and magazine layouts. (And became a huge Red Sox fan). Then, it was time to shake things up. I headed west to Los Angeles, where I worked for a fashion trend forecasting company, Mantra Films, TOMS Shoes, Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc., and Lorna Jane, a fashion fitness company. I then freelanced for companies in industries including beauty, healthcare, wineries, real estate, home decor, and health & wellness. After ten years in Los Angeles, I relocated to Raleigh, NC where I reside with my husband, sons (Summit and Canyon) and dog (Katie).
In addition to design, I have a certification in social media marketing from The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and User Experience (UX) Design Certificate from Google. I created a lifestyle blog called hoopLA which I have since sold, but led me to perform freelance social media and write for other outlets including EaterLA, Ego Review Magazine, The Argonaut and CBS LA.
