A little about me.

I grew up in the west Denver area with a healthy love of both art and the outdoors. Always sketching or painting, I loved how the outdoors inspired my creative passions. College took me away to sunny southern California, where I honed my design skills and learned that while the beach is nice, nothing compares to the crisp mountain air (and the vibrant and fun advertising scene in Denver), so I moved back and put down roots.

In the years since, I’ve worked both in-house at a handful of agencies as well as client side, with experience ranging from shopper marketing to healthcare–and beyond. I’ve found myself particularly drawn to the wellness and outdoor industries, which I find tie the art and the outdoor together very nicely.
