DESIGN,

Design has always been an inherent part of who I am. Color coding, organizing, intentional selections and thoughtful decision making for each and every aspect of my life lead me directly to the Graphic Design program at Oklahoma State University. During college, I tailored my studio hours to focus on my favorite things: illustration, typography, print and web design. I also earned an internship at The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, and threads of my time there are still woven through my design style.

Shortly after graduating from OSU with a BFA in Graphic Design, I married my high school sweetheart, Ryan. Together, we have two daughters - Madeline (4) and Claire (she's new here!) - our dog, Emma, and several chickens. We live on an acreage in Oklahoma City, with life-long dreams for our little farm. When I'm not at my desk, there's a good chance I'm trying to keep up with Madeline, holding (always holding) Claire, planning our next farm project or in a Pilates class.

Prior to freelancing, I worked at a local agency for 8 years and held a variety of titles. From sales to project management, production, publishing and social media - you name it, I did it. 2020 happened, our first daughter was born, and with so many changes happening in the world (paired with some impeccably-timed encouragement from old friends), I knew I was ready for something new. A few years and many freelance projects later, design is still such a great source of joy for me. Seeing projects come together from inception, logo reveal to a website launch... it's a true treat to be surrounded by business-owners-turned-friends. 

I’m beyond thankful for all of the referrals from clients and friends - and if you’ve made it this far, cheers! If you have design needs, but aren’t sure where to start, let’s chat.
