The Full Story
Here's a bit more about who I am, what drives my work, and why I wake up each day.
CREATIVE ROOTS
I’ve always been fascinated by the power of design and the impact of thoughtful detail, especially when it comes to growing and supporting businesses. Growing up in a creative family nurtured my curiosity and gave me a foundation for problem-solving through design. I earned my Associate of Applied Science in Web Design and Interactive Media from The Art Institute of Colorado (2012), followed by a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a specialization in Small Business and Entrepreneurship from Colorado State University Global (2014). To deepen my expertise, I completed a Master of Science in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Full Sail University (2016). My goal has always been to combine creativity, strategy, and technical skill to provide smart and effective presentation and design solutions for businesses.
CONSTANT GROWTH
For nearly five years at TLC Creative Services, I honed my craft in a high-volume studio environment, designing executive presentation decks for global giants like Toyota and Mattel. I specialized in translating complex data—from scanned medical tables to financial charts—into dynamic, animated visual stories. Working under tight deadlines for major conferences taught me that attention to detail isn't just a skill; it's a necessity for credibility. This experience cemented my passion for template architecture and visual clarity. Alongside studio work, I’ve completed freelance projects ranging from brand identity formation to website design, allowing me to continuously expand my skill set. I thrive on work that challenges me and enjoy guiding ideas from concept to completion, creating designs and systems that are both functional and visually engaging. At the core of my approach is a simple belief: if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living.
THE HEART OF IT
Recently, my family and I relocated to the Treasure Valley area, drawn by its mix of natural beauty, community, and opportunity. Being here inspires me to bring creativity and organization into every project I take on. My husband and sons keep me on my toes with a constant sense of adventure, from dirt biking to off-roading, and there’s never a dull moment. I love being part of their explorations, discovering new trails, and sharing in the excitement of every outdoor adventure. Outside of work, I’m passionate about music, photography, hand lettering, and home organization. I’m a lifelong learner and multitasker who finds joy in both the process and the result, whether designing a client’s project or creating memorable experiences with family and friends. As a homeschooling mom, I thrive on structured creativity and adaptive problem-solving—skills that translate directly to managing complex design projects and meeting shifting deadlines. Whether I'm designing a corporate deck or a local business logo, my goal is the same: to create work that is functional, beautiful, and impactful. Each day motivates me to keep growing, learning, and helping businesses look and operate their best, all while embracing the adventures and discoveries that life in Idaho brings.
