I'm a graphic designer with a sharp eye for detail and a deep commitment to capturing and elevating my clients' vision. My work has earned multiple awards in art shows from middle school through college, and outside of design, I stay creatively fueled through music, meeting new people, staying active, and exploring different art forms. I'm currently pursuing my MBA at Franklin University, building on my Bachelor's in Graphic Design from Marietta College.
Professionally, I've built hands-on experience across branding, marketing, and apparel-focused design. I currently work as a Graphic Designer at The Flag Lady, managing custom design projects for collegiate and high school sports teams, businesses, and individual clients — from initial consultation through final production. I also plan, film, and edit social and video content, and use performance data to guide content strategy (one campaign graphic for Ohio State football reached roughly 900,000 people).
Previously, as a Seasonal Graphic Designer at RUDIS, I partnered with sales and product teams to develop apparel, campaign concepts, and visual assets for the brand's wrestling and lifestyle line — contributing to over $685,000 in sales through design-driven campaigns. As a Contract Creative Evaluator at Remote Control, I assessed visual assets and layouts for effectiveness and consistency, and as a Marketing & Design Intern at MOVE Staffing, I created social content, flyers, and promotional materials that strengthened the agency's brand and community presence.
I also founded and ran StrongHer, an independent, female-focused gym apparel brand — designing every product in an American traditional tattoo style and building the brand's e-commerce presence from the ground up.
At the core of it all, my work blends design, branding, and storytelling — driven by a passion for helping people and brands feel truly seen.
