Hi y’all! I’m a senior graphic designer based in Austin, Texas and this isn’t my first rodeo.

My career spans 10+ years of design experience in agency, marketing, and in-house environments in lead designer capacities. My expertise covers a range of multimedia content, marketing strategies, and publications. I’ve had the honor of leading branded content and marketing for brands like YETI, Frost Bank, and Cadillac where my expertise in typography, color theory, layout, and branding were applied to a mix of the following formats:

  • editorial and publication design

  • print and digital campaigns with content marketing initiatives

  • event visual identities with print and digital signage and marketing

  • animated graphics and brand activations

  • branded email journeys that leveraged A/B test data.

So, what’s it like working with me? I’ve worked alongside marketing specialists, art directors, designers, C-Suite leadership, and project managers to produce high-quality creative solutions. You can expect a detail-oriented ninja who’s 5+ years in publication taught me to never overlook a comma and the difference between an em dash and hyphen (IYKYK). I’m curious by nature and always love to learn something new, currently it’s UI/UX principles. And if you couldn’t tell already, I have a passion for design that tells a story and resonates with people. A few of my past employers include the fine folks at Compass Real Estate, Texas Monthly, and SWBC Mortgage. For a look into my full resume, contact me here.
