A little bit about me. I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from Iowa State University. My work experience ranges from a graphic designer (at an independent insurance brokerage and risk management firm, a large manufacturing company, a mega-church, and an ad agency within a printing company) to a server at a local Cajun/Caribbean/BBQ restaurant to owning my own photography business to store director of a high-traffic coffee shop. I bring fun and an optimistic attitude with me wherever I go.
When it comes to design, I love a few different F words — fonts, formatting and fussiness…. well, when it comes to being detail-oriented that is. For example, my bleeds aren’t just pulled out to whatever number they land on. I meticulously type in 0.125” for each bleed. My style is clean, and I can adapt to any project I am working on. My files and folders are organized. Making sure files are ready for production is very important — which makes my experience even more important (bleeds, crop marks, proofs, preflight… you got it). I love helping people and companies tell their stories in a beautiful way.
I’m a small-town Iowa girl thankful to be in the Midwest surrounded by a great family and great friends. I enjoy meeting new people and finding the good in all situations. I work hard and play hard, and have a good day when I learn something new. I always leave a place better than I found it. I love greeting strangers and thanking Veterans, Active Military, Police Officers, Firefighters, EMTs, etc. for their service whenever possible (and it almost brings me to tears each time). I'm a connector and an encourager, and I love being a hype-girl to my friends and co-workers!
