Brush Strokes & Coffee Cups: From Sandusky to the Rockies

Hey there! I'm a small-town enthusiast with big dreams, originally hailing from a cozy spot outside of Sandusky, Ohio. Growing up surrounded by professional photographers, I caught the creative bug early—it felt like designing was practically in my DNA.

Fast forward to Kent State University, where I dove headfirst into the vast world of design. From crafting graphics for my local NPR to laying out the latest in fashion and news magazines, I found my niche in marketing for the school's rec center. Eventually, I climbed the creative ladder, landing a gig as a graphic designer for the Division of Student Affairs. Oh, and did I mention freelancing for Target? Yep, that happened!

After a stint in the vibrant city life of Denver, Colorado, I explored product packaging for a medical device company and danced my way through social media coordination for an events company. Then, serendipity led me to the exhibit industry. No clue what I was getting into, but my eclectic skill set from previous gigs had me more than prepared.

Now, I'm proudly wearing all the hats as a Graphic Design/Print Production/Multi-Media Specialist at a full-service exhibit house. This wild journey has shaped me into the award-winning designer I am today, but hey, the adventure doesn't stop there. I'm constantly on the lookout to earn new skills and dive headfirst into design trends.

If you want to join me on this crazy ride, let's grab a coffee and connect! I'm always up for a chat and eager to see where the next twist in the creative road takes me. Cheers!
