Overview
Hi! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm a Graphic Designer that loves to tell visual stories. I think my passion for creating began at the age of two, scribbling with colored pencils under my father’s drafting board in the basement of our Greenville, South Carolina home.
I'm a Graphic Designer that loves to tell visual stories. I think my passion for creating began at the age of two, scribbling with colored pencils under my father’s drafting board in the basement of our Greenville, South Carolina home.
Following my creative heart, I studied Advertising at The University of South Carolina. I soon realized I didn't want to only dream up the strategies but I also wanted to build the ideas. That is when I decided to pursue a second degree in graphic design. I've been in the publishing world for six years now. The majority of my work is non fiction but I'd love to dive into some fresh genres with you!
I focus on keeping an open mind and love searching for a unique angle in every project. I believe in honest communication and meeting deadlines. While book covers are my specialty, I still get silly excited about branding. I like to think that my experience plays a roll in developing a sharp, eye-catching, and marketable book cover.
A beautiful hometown of Charleston, SC and two boys (under 4) keep me smiling when I'm away from my computer.Services
