01 Who I am
I love to create. I also love to travel, hence the seemingly random travel photos scattered across my site. I am a graphic designer by trade, an artist and musician by leisure and an avid runner and chocolate consumer by pastime.
I was born and raised on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (and no, my childhood was nothing like what is depicted on the TV show). After attending college at UNC-Chapel Hill, I settled in Charlotte, where I currently reside with my husband and energetic toddler.
Professionally, I have extensive experience straddling the print and digital worlds of design. I am always thinking about the user experience and the end product. From pocket cards and posters to billboards and bus wraps, I have designed for print on every scale. In the digital realm, I have tackled everything from email marketing and social/digital ad campaigns to landing pages and web design. With a background in journalism, I am passionate about designing data-heavy infographics and following AP Style. (Death to the Oxford comma!) I also dabble in motion graphics, video editing and digital illustration.
02 Skills
I am experienced in both custom-coded, responsive email design as well as utilizing email marketing software such as MailChimp, Salesforce and Constant Contact.
I use Adobe Fresco on my iPad for all custom illustrations, fonts and various hand-drawn design elements.
