Get to know me
As lead graphic designer and creative director at the High Road Agency, I work hand-in-hand with the creative team to guide projects to completion. I’m an award-winning creative, Tri-Cities 40 Under Forty Honoree, and the woman behind many of the The High Road Agency’s designs. I have an eye for detail and passion for problem solving that pushes my designs to drive results. Having successfully launched and completed dozens of design and branding projects, I use my client experience and design processes to streamline agency output.
When I’m not designing I enjoy volunteering my time to help others in the arts, spending time with my dog Luna, reading, finding a new genre of music to enjoy, and cheering on the Atlanta Braves.
