About me.

 

I ‘m a graphic designer with a photographer’s eye. Whether designing logos or shooting details in nature, I see things with a unique perspective. After studying graphic design at Penn State University, I started my career at The Washingtonian magazine, which fueled my love of publication design. I was fortunate to return to my alma mater as the art director of the Penn Stater magazine before returning to D.C. to work for a boutique design studio where I honed my skills in branding, strategic communications, and client management.

For the past 15 years, I’ve worked with a variety of clients including national and international nonprofits, associations, government agencies, and private sector companies.

My experience working with photographers has enabled me to understand both sides of the lens. Living on Machodoc Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River in Virginia provides a stunning panorama for daily inspiration. I also love wandering around neighborhoods around the globe to capture street art and unexpected juxtapositions, offering a funky twist on things one might normally pass by.

Hope you appreciate my design aesthetic and enjoy my visual point of view. Thanks for checking out my work.
