My design career commenced with a certificate in fashion design after which I created my own line of handmade accessories while pursuing my first bachelors degree in ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My science background helped me to establish structure and organization in my work flow to better manage multiple projects at once. However,  while working in the ecology field, I soon realized that I needed design to be at the forefront of my career, so I embarked upon my second degree focused on graphic design at the Art Institute of Seattle, WA.

​

In Seattle, I worked as a designer for Zoo Design Inc and I continue to contract work with the company to this day. In my freelance work, I take great pride in supporting small businesses in growth and branding by creating logos, websites, graphics, marketing materials, email marketing and more. Clients come to me for beautiful, original work and genuine, collaboration from a real person. Additionally, I am proud to be on the board of the nonprofit organization, The Baby Buzz, offering graphic design and web support. En·trance design started as my passion project, and has proven to live up to its origin with every new project.

Throughout my life, I have always painted for pleasure and devoured art classes when available. Over the years, painting and art evolved for me and became my teacher; I began turning to my art for the subconscious lessons that would surface. After the birth of my second son, I experienced a wave of inspiration that helped me regain my sense of self. As my home became filled with my paintings, I began to breach my comfort zone and display my art publicly.
