About Me

I am a graphic designer with over 13 years of experience working on print, email, and web projects. I've worked as part of a marketing team to take projects from concept to final execution in a variety of mediums. I enjoy learning new skills and techniques to get the best results for a campaign.

Outside of work, I am an avid sports fan who follows baseball, football, and women’s soccer. I collect sports and entertainment memorabilia and am always happy to chat about my collection. I also enjoy watching (and re-watching) my favorite tv shows and movies.
