I am an experienced graphic designer with a passion for diverse projects. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with clients ranging from blue-chip companies to solo entrepreneurs, managing design and production of everything from large catalogs under tight deadlines to user-friendly B2B websites created in collaboration with developers. I thrive on collaboration, always eager to learn from others while sharing my own knowledge. In my current role as part-time Studio Manager and Graphic Designer at Chapter One Design, I manage all aspects of production, from client liaison and quoting through design to final artwork. I enjoy working under tight deadlines, whether independently or as part of a team. Outside of work, I enjoy competing with my border collie in agility and rally obedience, and I love spending time with family and friends at concerts, dinners, or long walks on the beach.
