ABOUT ME
I graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, concentrating in Graphic Design.
I always loved the arts and knew I wanted to pursue a career in that field.
I took a graphic design class on a whim and loved it.
In 2007 I began working as a full time Graphic Designer and have been at it ever since!
​
In my spare time I love to hang out with my husband, daughter, son and our beagle Ruby.
I'm a sucker for a good estate sale or antique store. I have a love for Jack White as well as the Detroit music and art scene. I am continually inspired by the architecture of the city.
​
PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Highly creative and driven Creative Manager with close to 20 years of experience in print, logo design, layouts, photography and creative direction. Passionate about driving business through effective and well executed design. Skilled at collaboration and vendor negotiation while maintaining strong partnerships and relationships. I have proven time and again that when a deadline is faced I will rise to the occasion with high quality work and well thought out execution.
