design

I’ve had an amazing time being a designer and have been fortunate to have been given a lot of creative freedom. I’m known for doing fun, colorful work and having a playful approach to typography. I often get to use my own photography or illustration in projects (added bonus!), and love working with the three elements of design – typography, imagery and color. Lucky for me, book covers have been the bulk of my work – the perfect vehicle to combine all three. Lately, I’ve been doing design and branding for two companies I’ve started – ReTree and Spark Studio. You can see this work when you go to those categories.
