I'm a hopeless romantic designer.
"There is no limit to what we can be hopelessly romantic about, to what we can choose to love and care for most in this world. Every one of us should go through life with that improbable, intoxicating infatuation for something — even if that something will never quite say “I love you” in return. Because even if your dedication proves difficult, or ultimately impossible to attain, the moments where you feel most alive will always be when you love with no regard for moderation. You don’t need to love romantic comedies and fairy tales and wedding magazines to be a hopeless romantic — you only need to be in love with life."
Chelsea Fagan, Thought Catalog.

Born and raised in South Minneapolis, Minnesota both my parents enriched my life with all mediums of art. I was involved in dance, theater, music and various art courses throughout my adolescents. My fondest memories are when my mom would take me to the rose garden near the lakes and we’d paint watercolors of the roses.

As a creative I strive to keep challenging myself to
find fun creative ways to express ideas. I charge my creative battery through traveling, taking walks in neighborhoods that are waiting to be explored and coffee...always coffee.
I love to work in a positive enriching environment that allows for independent projects and team collaboration. I value the opinions of those around me and welcome input on projects that help it successfully grow. I find communication, focus, and curiosity all important assets that I can contribute to a workplace.
I am Marie Kondo approved, if you hire me I will spark joy in your office.
