I’m not fond of industry buzzwords or over-the-top generalizations leaving you more confused than when you got here. My approach is simple: I specialize in you. Your business, idea, pitch, or campaign that's making the world a better, more creative, place. Because that inspires me and I have a hard time sleeping when I'm fired up.
I love what I do and if we work together I usually end up loving what you do, too.

About
I am an art director, graphic designer and artist. I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and raised in Nevada and Southern Utah. I am the 9th child in a brood of 10 artistic and creative children.
I migrated to Boston for my B.A. from Simmons University and then learned the ins and outs of the ad world at what I affectionately call my “ad school”: the print studio of Arnold Worldwide. I worked my way to Art Director at Arnold, followed by a stint at a local independent agency, Connelly Partners, but after living in Boston for 14 years I still missed the mountains and moved back to Utah.
I love hiking and rock climbing, and seriously considered attempting to summit some of the highest peaks in the world. Then I read John Krakauer's book Into Thin Air and changed my mind. I’ve completed several notable marathons, which at mile 18 I swear will be my last. In my semi-retirement I complete shorter distance races enjoyably.
In 2021 I gave up my apartment in Salt Lake City and began living in different cities a month at a time on a Work From Anywhere tour. It was short-lived because while “living” in San Francisco, I met someone and fell in love. I now live in the Bay Area with my husband, our baby daughter, Dolly, and our black lab, Peach.
