I've been in love with art and design since the day I picked up my first crayon. While I spent most of my college years studying accounting at Miami University, I knew design was my passion. I graduated Bowling Green State University with a bachelors degree in Visual Communication Technology and a minor in Business. After interning for small businesses, I went on to design and manage a team of designers at KHM Travel Group in Cleveland Ohio. I spent my weekends designing invitations, photographing weddings and of course eating wedding cake!
Moving to Columbus has allowed me to work on other cool projects, from designing financial reports to presentations at Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund. Since 2017, I have found my home at The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium showcasing my design skills and love of animals. Before the zoo, I would have said my favorite animal was a zebra. While still a favorite, my heart now belongs to the sloth bears. Just google them.
The idea of being a damn good designer is what wakes me up in the morning. That and bacon. My superpower is not only designs that look pretty, but designs that make a company more valuable. I thrive when given the opportunity to form concepts from beginning to end and challenge myself to explore and learn with every project.
Besides my design skills, I am crazy organized. Some may say I am old school but I love carrying a planner around the office. Planning helps me time manage and keep track of tasks when working on multiple projects.
