About

Hi! I’m a graphic designer with 22 years of industry experience, including 13 years freelancing full-time, and I genuinely love what I do. I’m comfortable producing a broad range of design work—from branding and marketing collateral to digital assets and print production—with a particular passion for publication design.

Over the years, I’ve worked with clients across sports, travel, education, baby products, farming, and financial services, delivering thoughtful, strategic design across branding, publications, marketing collateral, and digital media. Alongside design, I’ve taught Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, and I’ve also taught art to children aged 6–11. I enjoy collaborating with people and adapting to what’s needed, and I work independently or alongside creative teams.
