I’m a Multi-Faceted and Multi-Passionate Graphic Designer and Artist based out of West Hartford, CT.

I’m pretty much half northerner and half southerner. I like my folk music and sweet tea, but also love a snowy day and fuzzy socks by the fire.

MY EXPERTISE: BRANDS, ART, PRINTING, MARKETING, ADVERTISING,

GENERAL BUSINESS TIPS, STRATEGY & MOTIVATION

I own 3 successful businesses in the state of Connecticut, and would love to help you with yours!(See Business Consulting )

Let’s start at the beginning.. I started as the 12 year old girl who never got off the computer and used to create & sell website layouts in the Myspace era. I was then that high schooler who could never stay focused in school and would instead doodle and draw on everything.

I became that college girl who was an Art Major. I graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts degree and a minor in Marketing + Advertising, and received a 30 under 30 award in 2022!

I first started my own business in college selling my art and doing freelance graphic design to get by. Now I own 3 successful businesses and I’m here to help you with your journey! I’ve always been a go-getter (Capricorn energy) and love learning, growing and sharing that knowledge with others (we don’t gatekeep over here).

I’ve worked with a ton of different companies and print shops offering designs that make sense + have a real meaning and tangible effect to build growth. My background in print gives me a unique perspective on thinking about the END RESULT of a brand. How it will look in the real world.

With 12+ years experience I have the knowledge and connection to the craft to help other businesses SURIVE & THRIVE. After we work together, I’m your social media hype person for life! I WANT to watch your success and cheer you on, long after our collaboration is complete. I’m big on Community Over Competition, there’s a seat for all of us at the table.

I love creating in any form, and I am always finding new things to get my hands into. When I’m not working, I like to go camping with my husband and our Doggos (Juniper - Golden Retriever Girl & Tucker - Great Pyrenees) I also enjoy gardening, concerts, and musicals/shows.

Let’s have a coffee date + compare notes.
