Art & Design
Elegant, harmonious layouts with dynamic photo selection and clean typography.
I’ve been doing graphic design and illustration for nonprofits for the last ten years, so I’m well versed in solving a range of problems and working in a variety of programs. I’ve designed everything from books to postcards to backdrops to buttons, so if you have a project in mind there’s a good chance I’ve done something like it before! I’ve also worked in basic animation and video production. Because I’m usually part of a small team, I have experience in art direction as well as executing established brand concepts.

Digital Design
Years
2013 - 2024
Clients
Shotgun Players & University of Minnesota
While working at Shotgun Players I created images for email and web advertisements to sell tickets to shows. To create the emails, I would come up with a few messaging options, run them by the rest of staff, and then look through our photo archive and the script of the show for materials to come up with a tagline, advertising copy, and imagery.
In my time as an in-house graphic designer serving a wide range of global programs at the University of Minnesota, I made a variety of assets including animated web ads, recruitment videos, and social media graphics.
Illustration
I work digitally, and make images using Adobe Photoshop and a combination of my ipad and tablet. I’ve made illustrations for clients as well as to support my design work, and I’m also working on some personal projects. I love making art that plays with gender, mythology, and fairy tales, and I often use a combination of oil painting and collage techniques.
