I’m a Senior Graphic & Production Designer with 20+ years of experience across branding, print design, signage, and environmental graphics. I specialize in fabrication driven design, the kind of work that has to look great on screen and hold up in the real world once it’s printed, installed, or built.
My career started in print, prepress, and layout, then expanded into large-format graphics, signage, and wayfinding. Over the years, I’ve worked on everything from small-format collateral and magazine ads to complex sign programs, ADA-compliant systems, channel letters, and monument signs for commercial, retail, and municipal clients. I’m comfortable taking a project from concept through final production, developing the visual direction, building out the layout and hierarchy, and then creating detailed, production-ready files and fabrication drawings.
I collaborate closely with sales teams, project managers, engineers, fabricators, installers, and municipalities to keep projects accurate, compliant, and on schedule. I’m known for being detail-oriented, dependable, and solutions-focused. I enjoy untangling complex requirements, spotting potential issues before they become problems, and finding practical ways to keep both design quality and technical accuracy high.
I’m currently open to senior-level graphic and production design roles—remote, hybrid, or in the Charlotte, NC area, where I can bring a mix of creative thinking and technical precision to a collaborative team.

Just for Fun
Design is a huge part of my life—but it’s definitely not the only part.
When I’m not designing, you can usually find me hanging out with my daughter and making up silly stories, games, and inside jokes, or daydreaming in the aisles of craft stores and office supply sections (I absolutely have favorite pens and notebooks).
I love bright, happy color palettes, and Disney, whimsy, and anything that feels a little bit magical. If it looks like it belongs in a storybook or on a colorful sticker sheet, I’m probably into it.
I’m the one who laughs at my own jokes and sends too many reaction GIFs. I also genuinely like encouraging people and making things feel a little lighter—I take the work seriously, but not myself.
