I started my journey with design in college at Miami University studying painting and 2D Design, while focusing on becming a middle school teacher. After several years of teaching science, I found myself teaching coding which then led to taking several courses and learning about web development and the code to build functional websites. 

Beginning my career as a web developer, I began to meld and add my design knowledge to the websites I was creating. I am passionate about creating functional designs that help tell a visual story.

A mother of 3 and wife, I believe that family is important and the success of many small businesses supports families. I am also a follower of Jesus, and seek to use my creative talents to bring to life stories for non-profits and businesses working to bring change and serve people in our society.
