My love for art started at a very early age. My family owned a fine art gallery, woodworking studio, and resort in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. As early as I can remember I was surrounded by wonderfully creative & supportive people who helped me realize that art is a way of living life, not just something you hang on the wall.

After a somewhat non-traditional career path (flight attendant > communications specialist > baggage thrower > real estate agent > marketing coordinator > web designer > print designer) I spent seven years as a Creative Director for a sales & marketing agency in Knoxville. Then, in 2004, I opened a gift & antique store in Historic Downtown Sweetwater. The store was my main focus, but at the same time I ran a small design studio from my home. After four years of retail (read: three more than anybody in their right mind would enjoy) I sold the store so that I could focus on what I truly love, graphic design.

I now have over 19 years of comprehensive graphic design & marketing experience, and have even had the honor of winning two National Addy^® Awards for my print designs. My experience includes work on projects for well-known brands such as Coca-Cola®, John Deere, Ralph Lauren, Restoration Hardware, American Red Cross, OCC, Best Western, Hampton Inn, Guy Wolff Pottery, Country Inn & Suites, and many smaller companies as well. Every project, no matter what the size or scope, is treated as a top priority since I have always believed that big success is the result of tiny details.
