About The Person You'll Be Working With
Growing up in an entrepreneurial family taught me about business and resourcefulness. A market researcher by profession, I constantly seek out opportunities for constructively improving the interests of my clients.
I've worked in various industries spanning agriculture, construction, law, accounting, financial services, hospitality, entertainment, and real estate. My life-long interest in learning makes it easier to ask what job I haven't done!
I'm an enthusiastic and adaptable creator with fifteen years of experience in visual, written, research, and insight design. I bring strong creative, analytical, and interpersonal skills to the mix. I love making things pretty - from business and marketing materials to cakes and cupcakes!
