In 2011, I went to the School of Design at the University of Central Oklahoma to study Education, but I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. In 2023, I went back to UCO to teach design courses.

For a decade, I've worked professionally on web, digital, and print projects. But really, and my mom will confirm this, I've spent my entire life trying to solve problems.

In April 2023, I founded Say When Design Studio - a branding and web development studio for organizations that improve society. Launching this business was the most impactful way I could think of to solve the types of problems that disrupt life, and help make a difference.

☞ 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, and climate & sustainability.

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

☞ 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 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.
