Based in Seattle, with 20+ years of experience, I’m a seasoned, award winning creative girl in love with type and color. Key areas of experience include Creative Direction, Brand Strategy, Identity, Design and Typography. Writing copy and illustrating are sometimes an indulgence for me when duty calls. While print design is my niche, I have a go-to team of Coders, Developers, Photographers, Illustrators and Writers to complement these offerings.

ACCOLADES:

Silver POPAI Award Outstanding Merchandising Acheivement

Design of the Times Award

THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY:

my family, my bike, art museums, the sea, sushi, cinnamon rolls, world travel, Matisse, backpacking, totem poles, flowers, Argentina, catching my own seafood, sailing, letterpress, Patagonia (the brand and the park)

THINGS I'M NOT SO FOND OF:

mosquitoes, airplane seats, being tardy to a party, overused trends, fake plants, bigots, styrofoam, clutter, wearing high-heels, crowds, pollution
