As a senior graphic designer with 24 years of experience, I've created design solutions for Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, and independent brands — work that spans vehicle wraps, large-format event graphics, brand identity systems, and product packaging.
I'm also a realism artist, a proud SCBWI member, and a published children's book author based in North Carolina. My work spans brand identity, illustration, and children's publishing — bringing the same level of craft and clarity to a corporate rebrand as I do to a biography for a 10-year-old.
Through Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, my books reach young readers globally. Through freelance design, I help brands show up with consistency, confidence, and intention.
Who I’ve worked with
Trusted by organizations across industries — from Fortune 500 brands to nonprofits shaping communities.
