I’m a Portland-based print & web designer and have been designing for as long as I can remember … before I even knew a name for what I was doing. (Ask my mom to see Christmas lists from middle school.) Since 2004, I’ve worked all ends of the design spectrum from print production to design and web development. I am a lover of all things print, type, and web … try to make me choose and I might cry.

In my spare time, I can be found making chainmaille, playing tabletop games, painting miniatures, and/or binge-watching crime procedurals. (Is forensic entomology a real career? I think that’s what I want to do in my next life.) I can’t stand being bored, so I quickly find ways to fill my time creating and learning new skills. I get giddy about handdrawn type, vintage packaging, super clean vectors, and slick InDesign workflows. I am fascinated by everything and am happiest with a cold brew in-hand.

I believe everyone has a story to tell and a skill to share and revel in the chance to exchange words and knowledge with anyone who lives for the same. Let’s be friends.
