I love all things art - from the selection of color and texture of a fabric, to the stylization of a new branding and accompanying creative assets. I’m skilled in digital, fiber, paint and print design work.

At my core, I’m a problem solver and storyteller. For the last 18 years, I have helped businesses ranging from multi-million dollar corporations to higher education and entrepreneurs increase sales, develop their brand identity and find solutions to their business problems.

With my business I have had the joy of creating products ranging from co-branded apparel to innovative eco-friendly products designed to help reduce waste on the planet. Translating digital art into print and consumer products is one of my passions.

As an Instructor of Business and Marketing and Faculty / Staff Marketing Trainer at Portland State University, I’ve found a deep joy in teaching others. Coming from a consultant and higher education background, I find education to be a beautiful fit for my skillsets. I especially love finding ways to help people learn through both instruction and through hands on experience.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Social media has the power to build community, enhance a brand’s reputation and identity, and increase sales. The beautiful thing about social media is it constantly changes, embraces innovation and creativity. With an action plan, determination and beautiful graphics or images in hand, I believe anyone can succeed on social media.

From high-level storytelling, short and long-form video content, product photography, lifestyle photography, storyboarding, designed for social media, broadcast and LIVE social planning - I do it all!

With a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Research Psychology, I have conducted and published over 8 academic research articles. This includes survey development, focus groups, qualitative and quantitative research, data analysis, data translation and result articulation.

Finding ways to tell stories is one of my biggest joys. From high-level academic research storytelling, to profiles and educational content, I am continually discovering ways to immerse storytelling in the work I do.

Community building, both in person and digitally through social media, is one of my biggest passions. I’ve helped hundreds of online organizations increase their members and find ways to help their communities support their businesses.
