ABOUT

Hello — I am a strategic graphic designer, and then some.

During my career I have been privileged to work at some of the most respected advertising agencies and design firms in Minneapolis and San Francisco, as well as directly with some inspiring brands.

With every project I seek to create meaningful, distinctive solutions that get noticed. My background includes a broad range of client and project experience. I’m a good collaborator, so I believe everyone has creative ideas and that the best results come from a joint effort and curious mind.

Each project begins by listening, gathering insights and knowledge in order to create distinctive, ownable solutions. When your project requires a broader team, I tap into my network of creative, strategic, development and production talent — and manage everything seamlessly.

When not designing, I enjoy being outdoors — gardening, paddling, hiking and just puttering. I have two sons and live in the Driftless area of SW Wisconsin with my husband Clark, and Mona, the best Boston Terrier ever.

I hold a BFA with High Distinction from California College of the Arts. My work has been recognized by leading design organizations and magazines, including Uppercase, Graphis, and Communication Arts.
