QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

When it comes to credentials and real work knowledge, I’m what you’d consider “an expert in the field.” I’ve been designing since I was a junior in high school, giving me 11+ years of experience. Graduating from Independence University in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, honors and a 4.0 GPA, I’ve shown a strong sense of determination and self-motivation throughout my career.

From logo creation, business cards and flyers to mail advertisements, social media content and custom packaging, I’ve done it all for clients with businesses just like yours. Some of my most notable past clients being 4Front Credit Union, Heartland Payment Systems, Grant Mechanical and Innovative Millworks. Currently I work for numerous companies on their staff payroll as a graphic designer, including Traverse Real Estate, FreshTrippin and Immaculate Home; all located in Traverse City, MI.

NATURE-LOVING WITH A PASSION FOR PERFECTION

Well the title really says it all, doesn’t it? When I’m not designing, I enjoy going on camping trips with family, kayaking trips with friends and disc golfing with my husband. Outside of designing, I really enjoy reading, crocheting, true crime documentaries and country music festivals.

I’m newly married and thrilled about it. My husband and I tied the knot in August of 2023 in Ludington, MI. The current loves of our lives are our fur babies. Two dogs: Hamlet, a 10 year old male Pekingese-Chihuahua mix, and Juniper, a 1 year old female Pitbull-West Siberian Laika mix; in addition to two cats: Piper, a 2 year old female tuxedo, and Leo, a 2 year old male orange tabby.
