About.
I’m a Portland-based designer, visual thinker, storyteller.
(And the occasional trail runner)
*What I do:
For 15 years, I’ve built brands, systems, and stories through collaboration, curiosity, and care. My process centers on connection and understanding: listening closely, asking questions, and shaping design that reflects both the brief and the people behind it.
*How I've done it:
I’ve built brand systems, editorial layouts, printed books, posters, pamphlets, motion graphics, campaigns, presentations, pitch decks, touchscreen tools, vision videos, data visualizations, stop motion animation, on-air graphics, guerrilla marketing mailers, trade show display graphics, gallery installations, responsive websites, experimental web experiences, prefab structures for immersive brand activations, life-size clamshell action figure packaging, lunch meat mosaics, 3D lettering, and more templates than I can count. Phew!
*Who I've worked with:
From Fortune 500s to community nonprofits, I’ve partnered with: Nike, Intel, Amazon, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Holland Residential, Providence, Planar, Mackenzie Architecture, and many more.
The people behind these names?
Futurists. Makers. Tinkerers. Builders. Researchers. Outside-the-box thinkers. Tech superheroes. Drillers & blasters. Plumbers. Field guide adventurers. Community sustainers. Financial Planners. History buffs-turned attorneys. Sound engineers. Software dreamers. Ultrarunners. Outdoorswomen. Outdoorsmen. Longshore workers. Healthcare heroes. Comedians. Artists. Polo players.
*What I believe:
I’ve learned that the best creative work doesn’t rely on showmanship, and that good design starts in the space between people, where listening, trust, and curiosity live. I’ve dedicated my career to learning how to notice what’s unspoken, to building long-term relationships, and sticking with something until it makes emotional and practical sense. Distance running taught me what design keeps reminding me: clarity comes through rhythm, persistence, and showing up.
