A Little bit about myself

I am a proud U of M alumna

Although football/sports ball isn’t really my thing, I do take pride in wearing maize & blue and cheering the team on whenever I can.
Go Blue!

Seattle/Michigan roots

My husband Paul, & I have lived in Michigan our entire lives. Even though we’ve been in Seattle for *2* years already, I still call Michigan home.

I own over 70 pairs of earrings

Earrings are my favorite accessory, especially ‘quirky’ ones. Some of my favorite are a pair of keys, Michigan football helmets, copper casted maple leaves, candy peppermints, and world globes.

I accidentally became viral

My friend Jaya Joseph posted images on Tumblr of my ziploc bag jacket, “The Snacket” and it went viral! It was reblogged on sites such as Buzzfeed, Huffington Post’s Weird News, Gizmodo, The Awesomer, Grist, and more!

My Instagram feed is about 80% food  

I love looking at pictures of food, and dreaming of all the new places to eat at someday. The other 20% of my feed is comprised of posts by friends, pretty places to travel to, design/hand lettering, and cute animals. 

WORK EXPERIENCE

 I have over three years of professional experience, including that with startups, agencies, as well as small businesses. I’ve worked as the only in-house designer for two tech startups and an agency, so I am no stranger to designing for different platforms/projects, creating assets by following a brand guide, or to delivering polished products under short deadlines.
