Who I Am

My journey with design began as a child with a Smurf ColorForm set, which, funny enough, served as the perfect art direction training tool. In high school, I was the overachieving art student frequently found painting the school’s mural who designed the groundbreaking homecoming button which featured a woman on it for the first time in the school’s legacy. Today, I am a Design Leader who has embraced the power of my perspective, driven by enthusiasm for my craft, and committed to advocating for meaningful causes. I'm a puzzle solver and love a good challenge—just give me a Rubik’s cube and three minutes, and I’ll prove it.

 

What I Do

With over 20 years in the industry, my career has included long-term freelance roles with globally recognized brands and agencies in the Twin Cities, founding and running my own business for a decade, and contributing to some of the top agencies in the Minneapolis area. My most profound expertise lies in the medical and health space. I view my work in this industry as particularly impactful, as it has allowed me to merge my advocacy for humanity and empathy with my design skills. This approach resonates deeply with audiences—a quality that is crucially needed in the design world today.

 

Where I’m from

Born and raised, I'm a Minnesotan at heart. That being said, I’d happily trade the icy roads and goulash for more Minnesota fall days and foods on a stick. You betcha.
