About Me

Hey, hi, hello!

I'm an award-winning brand designer, illustrator, published author, and musician based in the deep SE heart of Portland, Oregon. I'm passionate about crafting identities for brands worth believing in.

I'm a multidisciplinary creative with over a decade of industry experience, including advertising, tech, retail and startup sectors. Over the years, I've honed a high level of creative versatility across varied design disciplines. Thanks to the lattice-like movement of my career, I'm comfortable designing for nearly every type of brand touch point (digital, print, mobile, social, video) with particular specialties in brand identity design, art direction and illustration. My creative process is driven foremost by empathy, listening, unabashed iteration and exploration, and enthusiastic collaboration, with a side helping of humor along the way.

My foundation in illustration and fine art has paved the way for me to execute everything from detailed portraiture and thoughtful editorial imagery to vector graphics, custom type and logo design, and even a bit of animation. Variety has been a constant in my career, and always keeps me motivated and excited about what I do. I was most recently stationed as a senior brand designer on the Identity team at Zendesk, but am now on the hunt for my next role.

Outside my design work, I write and play music in the band Phosphene along with my husband, Matt. Our fourth album, Transmute, was released in September 2023. Learn more about us here.
