Biography
My design journey began almost by chance in my second "soul-searching" year of college. My general courses were running out—it was time to specialize! I had always enjoyed art and photography, but didn't know there was a way to do these things to tell brand stories too. Thankfully I happened upon a "Photoshop for Design and Print" class and the rest is history.
On the weekends you'll find me hiking around our colorful mountains with friends, taking care of the gardens in my yard, or relaxing in my hot tub. I believe creative inspiration is everywhere if you take the time to listen and look.
I currently serve as Art Director for Bullfrog Spas' in-house Marketing Department and lead a talented team of graphic designers and freelancers on a mission to "Create Peaceful Lives."
