With over a decade of professional design experience, I bring a wealth of creativity and expertise to the field. For the past 2.5 years, I've proudly served as the Art Director for TulsaKids Magazine, contributing to the visual storytelling that captivates our readers. My journey in design has been diverse, encompassing roles in nonprofits and small advertising agencies, each experience shaping my versatile skill set.
In 2012, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Tulsa with a BFA in Graphic Design, laying the foundation for my artistic journey. Recent accolades include winning awards for TulsaKids Magazine in 2023 and 2022 — a testament to my commitment to excellence in every project, big or small.
Outside of design, I enjoy my life in Tulsa with my dear husband and our two wonderful children. I find fulfillment in a myriad of hobbies, including drawing, running, hiking, snowboarding, illustration, hand embroidery, reading and more.
