Born and raised in Oklahoma, there wasn't much to do as a kid except play outside! Growing up around the waving wheat, windy rain, and lazy hawks was something I will always love. Being outside all the time either with friends or playing sports, it really did grow on me and the fact that I could always have a clear head when out and about.

​

Once I grew up though and went off to college I opted for the path of design. Along with being outside I was always drawing and coming up with stories, a true creative at heart. Along with design I learned that my second true love was illustration and bringing smiles to other people through my textured art. While studying Graphic Design and Marketing a lot of doors really opened up for me. I got to intern at a design agency in Tulsa (Creative Filter), experience what corporate life was like for the first time (Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education), understand what it meant being a designer and illustrator for the best communicators in Stillwater (Communications Department at the Edmon Low Library), and lastly intern for my favorite convenience store in Oklahoma (OnCue) and then work full-time for that same company when I graduated from Oklahoma State University.

 

With all of these experiences and encounters I am now a full-time graphic designer and illustrator who thrives when creating custom branding and illustrations for my clients. I love what I get to do and that I get to do it at home with my dog! What's better than that!
