Over the course of my career I've helped fledgling agencies grow their creative teams and improve workflows, mentored a number of interns, and had the pleasure of working across mediums with brands large and small to create meaningful, strategy-driven design solutions.

At the heart of my work is listening, asking questions, and uncovering a brand’s story and the people behind it. Those unique stories guide everything I create, helping me craft experiences that go beyond aesthetics and truly resonate with the people who use them.

I call Charleston, SC home, where I live with my husband, Chris, and our corgi, Mack. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me in nature—hiking, tending my garden, or tucked under a tree with a good book. I’m also a fiber artist, crafting quilts and garments that carry the same care and attention to detail that I bring to my design work.

By the way, say "hi" to your dog for me!

It isn’t just about what I create, but how I create it.

Every detail matters 🔍

Never overlook the details because they’re what turn good design into experiences that stick with people long after they’ve interacted with them.

My experience is wide-ranging, but these are the types of projects that excite me most.

Branding

I collaborate with clients to craft a unique look and feel that complements their brand story—whether through a new logo and branding package or refining an existing mark to create something fresh yet familiar.
