About Me

I’m a highly creative and passionate Graphic Designer and Art Director with over a decade of professional experience in visual production and design. I am currently leading a team of animators, videographers, and graphic designers in a professional studio environment. I bring my authentic self into any project, and I believe that a healthy team culture truly matters. I am open to new opportunities that allow me to continue to grow as a leader and bring cohesive vision and clarity to other creative teams.

In addition, I am a fine artist and illustrator working in acrylics, colored pencils, and digital mediums. I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham with my BFA in 2014, and I currently live in Birmingham with my partner, chocolate lab, and two cats. My hobbies include video games, traveling, rug tufting, painting murals, and creating custom jackets.
