I’m a designer, storyteller, and marketing creative passionate about crafting human-centered experiences that connect people to art, ideas, and each other.

Over the past decade, I’ve led creative direction, marketing, and design strategy for arts and education nonprofits across the Pacific Northwest—helping organizations tell their stories with clarity, warmth, and purpose.

My background in theatre, design, and marketing gives me a uniquely narrative approach to visual communication. Whether developing a new identity, designing a campaign, or reimagining an event experience, I start from empathy: Who are we speaking to, and how can design and storytelling make them feel seen, welcome, and inspired?

My work blends craft and care—an analog heart with a digital toolkit—and always aims to make creativity feel accessible, strategic, and human.

Thanks for visiting. I hope my work sparks ideas, curiosity, or maybe even collaboration.
