Who Am I?
I earned my Associates Degree in digital imaging and her Bachelors of Fine Arts in fine arts with a focus in graphic design. I started my professional career in the prepress production area which quickly opened the opportunities to branch out in to the graphic design areas. I have acquired more than ten years experience on an array of professional design competencies such as developed graphics and designed layouts for print/web production, general advertising, and electronic marketing. In addition, she has created media components (i.e., graphics, ads, banners, mini-web pages and animations) for online courses, professional development, and company websites and other social media. In addition she has worked very closely with the company's Marketing, Sales & Communication team on modifications of proposed designs in order to meet the client's commercial and promotional needs while maintaining the brand identity of the products offered by a company. She has worked with various clients including Michigan State University, Michigan Virtual University, Plug In America and San Francisco State University. In my free time I enjoys the adventures of hiking, camping, traveling and playing fetch with my dog.

Fun Facts?
I grew up in the historic town named Deadwood, in the Black Hills of South Dakota; it is an old mining town that's still as wild at heart as it was in the 1800s when the outlaws, gamblers and gunslingers ruled the streets. I have walked in the footsteps of legends—like Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane and Seth Bullock. Today, the entire Black Hills' town is a National Historic Landmark.
