Problem Solver

& graphic designer

Based in OKC, Oklahoma.

For over a decade, I've worked professionally in web, digital, and print. But really, and my mom will confirm this, I've spent my entire life solving problems. When I graduated from design school, my goal was to create things that were bright, bold and meaningful.

In 2023, I did two incredible things: I began teaching courses at UCO's School of Design and I launched Say When.

Teaching has been incredibly fulfilling, and I love that I get to do it! Opening doors for others is truly what brings me joy. And, diving into to the basics of design with students inspires my own work.

Say When is my studio for purpose driven folx: nonprofits, foundations, and nonprofit consultants. I get to work with amazing people who are creating impact every day, improving society.

☞ I believe there are too many social issues in America to list here. So, the things that really tug on my heart are related to: social justice, health & wellness, accessibility, education, animal welfare, and climate & sustainability.

☞ My goal is to spread joy, to increase equality, and to continually learn.

☞ I read A LOT. Fiction, non-fiction, gimmee.

☞ I'm a natural leader and teacher. I believe in showing instead of just telling, that material is so much more impactful when it's both demonstrated and explained.

☞ All it takes is 10 seconds of movie music, a photo of a puppy, and I'm crying.

☞ I've won 16 ADDY's, including one People's Choice Award, for my work in branding, web development, and advertising.

☞ If I can make something by hand, I do. I enjoy learning how to use new mediums and the process of creating.

☞ I once timed myself doing a jigsaw puzzle. 500 pieces, 43 minutes.
