Overview
I have won 3 Gold Ink Awards for printed book jackets, am a Publishing Professional's Network 48th Annual Book Show winner, and in 2017, won a coveted PRINT Regional Design Award for my book jacket design for 'Look' by James Gilmore.I find design inspiration in beautiful package designs, clever infographics, and hand painted signs. I am sucker for peony flowers and any adventure where you might find a waterfall.
