About Me

Here's the short version: I'm a graphic designer with 8+ years of experience in advertising, and I specialize in illustration and copywriting.

Here's the long version.

I'm an Associate Art Director at Beasley Media Group by day, and a freelance artist by night. Working in the fast-paced advertising industry means my days are always an adventure. One might include everything from managing creative team projects and designing websites to drawing punk rock squirrels for beer labels. With eight years of industry experience, I've learned how to anticipate the unexpected and tailor my skillset based on each unique challenge.

Because of my background in illustration, I approach each project from a storytelling perspective. I work with clients to understand their brand and business goals, so I can tell their story in a way that attracts their target demographic. I love what I do because I get to create meaningful connections between great businesses and the customers that need them.

When I'm off the clock I spend most of my time planning trips, curating the perfect charcuterie board, and reading anything Lord of the Rings adjacent. I live in a cozy house in North Carolina with my partner, senior dog, and two rescue guinea pigs.
