I want to make great things for great people.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, I’m a city girl at heart. I discovered graphic design 10 years ago and never looked back, teaching myself to code along the way. The last few years have taught me a lot, and I’m looking forward to what the next few bring.

I also enjoy hiking, biking, going to Sporting Kansas City games, watching Game of Thrones (who doesn’t?), and playing with my cats Etta James and Tiny.
