Art Director, Designer, Brand Strategist

Art Director, Designer, and Brand Strategist who loves functional and beautiful design based on data and consumer insights. I've designed apparel and editorial catalogs, product packaging design, direct marketing collateral, paid and organic social content, and art directed studio and lifestyle photoshoots. I've also managed a User Testing team to get feedback on the Marketing materials to make sure we are presenting our products and brand in the most engaging and functional way possible. Always looking to collaborate teams and individuals that bring a brand and product in it’s best light.

I received my BFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design from the University of Idaho. Here I learned that design is not one sided or just making something look pretty. Functional, smart and sensible design is important in the success of a project.

I currently work and live in the great Columbia Gorge area with my two cats, St. Bernard dog, and two rescued Oregon Mustangs. When not working on catalogs or art directing photoshoots, you can find me on my property fixing fences, working with my mustangs, or snuggling with my dog in front of a wood stove fire.
