Hello! I’m a designer, an artist, a motorcycle rider, a cat person, and a whiskey lover. I’m currently based in Portland, OR and excited to be working in the graphic design world where I can use my fine art and design skills to create memorable and effective logos, cohesive brand identities, eye-catching packaging, illustrations, and more.

Before moving to Portland and entering GD school I was a sales associate and finance manager at a Harley Davidson shop in Los Angeles for five years. I have been riding Harleys for over 10 and my favorite hobby is packing up my Dyna and heading out to do some moto camping in the redwoods.
So far I’ve been enjoying Portland on two wheels and on the water!
In another life I managed a gallery in Santa Fe, NM on Canyon Road and showed my own paintings in NM, AZ, CA, and CO. I look forward to opening a studio again one day soon here in the PNW and getting involved with local galleries.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, and yes, I am a big fan of the Steelers! I attended undergrad at WVWC and earned a BA in English writing and Studio art and then a MFA at James Madison in Virginia. I taught drawing and design skills along with art history and digital photography for a few years before moving to Santa Fe, NM to help a relative.
