The long:

​

My mother was an art teacher, so as soon as I could hold a crayon, I was drawing, painting, paper macheing, and shrinky dinking. It was clear to me from a very young age that I was meant to create. 

 

In high school, I was accepted into a highly competitive two year studio art program which gave me a strong foundation in both 2D and 3D design. As a BFA student in college, I spent four years in the studio painting, drawing, sculpting, photographing, printmaking, and set designing.

 

In addition to my skills as a designer, I am a problem solver and leader. My first job out of college was for a greeting card company where I developed an obsession with typography and discovered, to my surprise, an aptitude for managing others. The expertise I have accumulated across different industries has shaped me into a leader who consistently strengthens teams and challenges colleagues to do their best work. I manage teams across departments, develop efficient systems, mentor junior designers, and am involved with strategic planning and client relations.

 

When I’m not behind a computer screen, I’m exploring, dancing, cooking, and traveling.

 

I’m always excited by a new challenge and strive to work in environments where the innovation and passion of my colleagues matches my own.
