Well, Hello.

I'm an experienced graphic designer specializing in branding, print collateral and content creation. Read on to learn how I got here-

After I was fired by my piano teacher at the ripe old age of 9, and outright refused to go to ballet practice, my parents began to suspect they had spawned "a dud."

The first glimmer of hope for my parents came when I kicked ass in Odyssey of the Mind (think, the olympics of creative problem solving.) Their confidence grew a little more after I discovered a knack for acting and accents and then was fully restored after I took my first art lesson and was rarely seen afterwards without a pencil in my hand.

 My love of creative problem solving, improv, and all-things-art/design (other than piano and ballet, of course) have all remained a strong constant in my life.

I'm a tinkerer, lover of puzzles, collaborator, private investigator & anthropologist. I love the "aha" moment but even more so the road it takes to get there.

Committed to play, curious as a George, patient and diplomatic, ENFP, quintessential Cancer.

I love words: Language, etymology, puzzles, play, vocabulary, cheese, beer, people, color, portmanteaus, laughing, puns, laughing at my own puns, strolling in my neighborhood, drawing, painting, typography, comedy, Fast Company, board games (particularly Catchphrase and Balderdash), reading, theater, tree houses, netflix, tracking the weather, storms, travel, windchimes, scooters, baby goats, friends and family, brunch, otters, singing, dolphins, old trunks and suitcases, Freeway, American Gothic genre, live music and Ford pickup trucks from the early 70's...and that pretty much sums it up.
