I am an independent art director and graphic design consultant in the Washington DC Metro area.

I have 20+ years of experience as a print and web designer, specializing in non-profit communications and small business branding. My job is a beautiful mix of the practical and the visual, and it gives me the opportunity to work with some really great people. Most of my clients are focused on environmental responsibility, healthcare, and social justice. My projects are diverse—one week I may be creating a brand identity for a new business owner, while the next I may be designing a complex publication for an international non-profit. As a result, I have gained broad experience and thrive on variety.

When I’m not at work, I am busy spending time with my two daughters. Their creativity is inspiring, if not exhausting. Both are always making something—Lego houses, jewelry, paintings, messes. I start nearly every day with a run, often listening to a design podcast or audiobook before the sun comes up. I love vegan baking, traveling to new cities, and collecting vintage textiles.
