Empath, connector, talker; culture carrier, future-forward. I resist the impulse to curl up to the warm fire of the familiar. I love the details, a seeker, a doer. A planner who accounts for chaos. An advocate for the team, champion of the work, and aware of the power of the outcomes as they drive decisions and affect lives. I command attention without ego and with authenticity. Consistent, flexible, and dependable, with no concession on quality. Always grateful, always learning, and always curious.

I was lucky to begin my design education by working with stat cameras, typesetters, and color separations on physical boards. Soon after that, the Macintosh changed everything. Creating visual communication during the pre-computer days took patience and skill. All this handwork imbued me with respect for craft which I carry over to the work I do today on the UX and digital side of creativity.

I owe much to the guidance and leadership of my design educators at Edinboro University for laying a solid foundation in design principles. I have developed my business, technology, and marketing chops over 25 years as a print and digital creative.

Research is necessary, style is substance, and creativity is best served when all are invited to the process.
