About

Get to know me.


Custom-designed pocket notebooks for my senior BFA show.

I take pride putting exceptional care into my work.

Since graduating with my BFA in Graphic Design in 2018, I’ve spent over five years building professional design & front-end experience. I’ve helped bring many client projects to life across web, UX, and branding.

I’m currently at Inkling, a digital learning platform based in San Francisco, where I work remotely as a front-end designer. I create branded, responsive, and engaging templates for our customers’ learning content. I’ve helped empower teams—from companies such as Abbott, WellNow Urgent Care, and H&R Block—to author best-in-class training materials. I’m also managing our boilerplate codebase, leading R&D initiatives, and working cross-functionally with product teams to deliver ongoing innovation.

I fell in love with digital and interactive design at The University of Akron’s Myers School of Art. During my time here, I participated in the school’s in-house design studio, managed the Myers School of Art’s website, and won local and regional ADDY awards for my brand identity work.

Navigating the design industry has helped me develop my creativity, organization, and attention to detail, which I apply to all aspects of my career. Regardless of the project, I always aim to learn, have fun, and generate fresh ideas. As a designer, my work has the potential to make a positive impact on people, and there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a client or user happy with the result.

Outside of design, I am keenly interested in new music, art, and travel; these experiences inspire my creative work. I also enjoy writing on my blog to reflect on topics that matter to me. I grew up in Ohio and live in greater Seattle with my husband, Alex.

I like to get out in nature and enjoy the stunning Pacific Northwest.

Expertise

Web Design

As a web designer, I’m responsible for creating beautiful, functional, and accessible experiences. Working from concept to execution, my process includes sketching and wireframing to designing high-fidelity, responsive mockups and prototypes.

Whether I’m gathering research and inspiration, developing a full-fledged site redesign, making improvements to existing pages, or generating ideas for new content modules, I can rely on my broad web skillset.

Front-End Development

I help build and maintain websites by coding clean and semantic HTML, CSS, Sass, and PHP. I’ve developed with content management systems, use versioning tools, and value strong code organization & documentation.

I’m always seeking to learn and deepen my core front-end programming skills through reading, workshops, and collaboration. Recently, I’ve been diving into accessibility and emerging CSS techniques.

Branding & Digital Design

I enjoy creating new brand identities and developing visuals as part of existing guidelines. I’ve worked with small businesses and large enterprise clients alike, and I’m familiar with the needs of many types of industries.

My graphic design background and advertising experience help me best approach logo design, illustration, content design, and more. I design assets and campaigns across platforms that create emotion and bring forward your brand’s essence.


Let’s work together!

Music

Live music is an endless source of joy and inspiration for me. I’m also a big fan of discovering new artists and making playlists for friends.

Creativity

When you’re driven to something, and nothing can pull you away from it, actually learning the material and practicing it is no hard work at all.

Reading

Shown above is a small part of my design and non-fiction library. I love books that challenge my perspective and help me grow personally and professionally.
