Describe yourself in 7 sentences or less: scratch that, make that six sentences. I am a graphic designer who is a recent graduate, teacher, facilitator, whitewater kayaker, climber, outdoor enthusiast, Virginian, West Virginian, traveler, photographer, and perfectionist—to name a few.

My first experience with visual arts came from my high school years. Later, when I arrived to college, I knew I loved the act of creating and having a tangible final product.

Now design has moved beyond tangibility. I now design to enrich the lives of others—communicating passionately for the benefit of anyone who actively or passively participates in design.
