Looking for change

Originally from New Orleans, LA (Who Dat), I eventually moved to the NW looking for change and adventure.

Coffee, art, running and playing

That about sums up what I’m most often doing: sipping coffee, running, playing with my kids, and creating artwork. I’m curious by nature, a klutz by sheer genetics, and a life learner. I’m always ready to learn something new and teach and inspire my kids along the way.

Passions

I’m a Creative Director by day, but I dream of establishing a new children’s book franchise. I love helping others learn through stories, cards, or my art. My passions are painting, illustrating, and drawing and I hope to turn my love into a career while inspiring active imaginations! 

Work Bio

I’m currently the Creative Director at Seattle University. I’ve been instrumental in developing unique branding for various events and programs and ensured brand consistency across digital, print, video, and environmental design assets. Before joining Seattle U, I was the digital media manager at CBS Radio.

I help clients think creatively and strategically about ways to enhance design and storytelling while backing them up with analytics. In addition, I guide the university’s brand evolution, overseeing visual identity refresh and development of comprehensive brand guidelines.
