Who I Am
Growing up in north Louisiana shaped who I am – spicy, creative, and some may even say "a good hang". After college at LA Tech I spent some time in the hill country of south Texas, and now I call northwest Arkansas home! This area has been the perfect blend of everything I need: stunning nature, complete with all four seasons, and a vibrant arts and music scene. The creative energy here fuels me, and the community is full of inspiring individuals. When I’m not knee-deep in Illustrator or Procreate, you’ll find me hiking the trails, attending yoga and dance classes, or trilling around on my piano.
I like to brag that I've always had a natural eye for balance, color, and intricate details. Design isn't just my profession – it’s part of who I am. I have the unique ability to sense when something is "just right".
Color is an instinct I’ve honed over time, allowing me to curate cohesive palettes. I also take pride in being meticulous, with a keen eye for spotting subtle inconsistencies that others might miss.
Fun fact: I’m a huge Disney fan. Growing up, I knew every word to every Disney song, and I still can't resist a good Disney trivia night. It’s been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember to work for Disney in some capacity – blending my love for design, music and my belief in all things magical!
