I'm an Art Director. I’m a Designer. I’m an overly caffeinated, early bird, book worm who has a passion for: movies, chocolate and clean, simple design. I live in the Rochester, New York area, a transplant from Red Sox Nation.

I started out as a little girl who drew stuff. The adults around me would ask, “Are you going to be an artist when you grow up?” My mother would reply “Being an artist isn’t really a job.” Thank goodness was she wrong.

I had the extraordinary good fortune to marry my two passions. Trained as an artist first, then a visual communicator I learned that design is a process of diving into what a client needs and finding the best way to communicate it.

I boil things down to their most essential; it's my Secret Superhero power.  In my years as a designer I've watched, I've listened, sometimes I simply fetched coffee but I've absorbed it all. Twenty years later I’m still absorbing. I divide my time between my three babies: “Composition”, “Color” and “Typography.” Design done well is the perfect synthesis of simplicity and message.
