WELCOME!  I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, artist, and writer, whose work has received numerous awards. In print, as in person, my goal is clear communication. 

My art comes from my eyes, my hands, and my heart. 

My designs blend text and graphics to support each project's message, while also encouraging readers and viewers to engage with its meaning. 

My book, The Year of the Bird, is a graphic memoir, true stories with pictures about the moments when life says, "Surprise!" — and what happens after that. 

My blog,  Shy Girl Talking, is a thinking-out-loud journal of intermittent epiphanies.
