Part performer, part educator, part designer — and someone who genuinely enjoys making people feel comfortable and seen. That's pretty much how I'm wired.

Who I Am

Warm, people-oriented, and probably a little extra.

I'm a communicator, performer, kids' ministry veteran, and graphic designer who found her way into creative work and stuck with it.

I've been on stages around the world, in classrooms full of five-year-olds, and hunched over a design file late at night. All three feel familiar to me in different ways.

I don't have a college degree — just a lot of years spent learning by doing, asking good questions, and figuring things out as I go. That kind of education has served me pretty well.

The Stage

I've spent fifteen years performing in front of audiences of all sizes, from local productions to international stages. Over time, I've learned how to read a room, hold attention, and recover when things don't go according to plan — because eventually, something always doesn't.

Stage work taught me a lot about communication, presence, adaptability, and how to help people feel connected in a room full of strangers.

The Classroom

Director of Kids Club East Side. A lot of my work has centered around helping kids and adults feel safe, comfortable, and known. Developing volunteers, planning big events, creating memorable content, and connecting with kids fueled my time there. I'm proud of pushing advocacy front and center into many of the things I did and, well, advocated for.

Kids tend to know pretty quickly whether someone is genuine or not, and earning their trust takes consistency, patience, and a sense of humor. Also: a surprising amount of goldfish.

The Studio

I design and develop brand identity work used across a national organization. A large part of my role is not just creating visual assets, but helping leadership understand why consistency, clarity, and strong design matter in the first place.

I've worked on conference booth designs, sales collateral, teaching materials, and slide decks intended to keep people engaged and communicate ideas clearly. A lot of my work involves taking loosely formed ideas and helping shape them into something more polished and usable.

Honestly, a significant part of design work is helping people figure out what they're actually asking for. The rest is creating work that communicates well, looks intentional, and serves the audience it's built for — usually somewhere inside Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop.

I may have forgotten your name, but I know your dog's.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. Yes, Yes, Yes.
Podcast listener. Perpetual learner. Never bored in the car.
No college degree. Life has taught me most of what I know.
Former Dinosaur.* The asterisk matters. I'll explain.
I nerd out on Bible history with the same energy most people bring to sports stats.
