In need of design assistance?
Let’s see if I can help!
Through music, portraits, caricature drawing, card-making and the occasional costume creation I keep my imagination and creative passion alive. I have a strong sense of print and package design and truly LOVE logo and brand development. Having designed for multiple industries (ranging from consulting, scientific, charitable and medical institutions, to athletic, beauty and luxury brands), I feel that I am versatile and able to shift in my design approach to fit your needs.
Adding two little dudes (kids, not husbands) to our life-adventure, I find that humor and patience is something I have an abundance of. Which I feel is essential to create a fun, appealing and functional design, even when time is short. Sometimes design calls for a chameleon that can understand the clients desired message, vision and the variety that each brand may desire to portray. Whether you are serious or playful, I will design to the standards you envision for your brand.
Over the past 5 years I have designed the main look for Anchorage Festival of Music’s concerts; worked with Anchorage Fine Arts Society to design a cover for The Cheechakos filmed in 1923 as the first movie ever filmed in Alaska; designed wedding invitations, and developed logo designs for start-up companies who needed to marry their story to their brand look. I also illustrate and am able to complete hand-drawn custom portraits.
The following list are clients I have worked for while at GIRVIN, in Seattle Washington: 1Bag at a Time, Benefit Cosmetics, butter LONDON, Dannon, Delta Marine, Eastern Congo Initiative (Ben Affleck), Institute for Systems Biology, Kettle Chips, Microsoft, Newman | Du Wors, Norpac Foods, Omeros, Oqyana, Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, Paramount Theatre, Premchit, Procter & Gamble, Rowley Properties, Inc., Sally Beauty, Simon Golub & Sons, VF Brands and Wimmer Solutions.
