I’m a wife, mom of two wonderful kids, and a proud dog mom, with a love for family life that keeps me grounded and inspired every day. I grew up under the sunshine of Southern California, studied in Northern California, and eventually found my way to Michigan, where I built a life with my husband and family. Creativity has always been a part of me—whether I was drawing, painting, or sculpting as a kid, or now bringing that same imagination into my career as a designer and creative problem solver. I loved working in professional sports, and today I continue to pour that same passion and work ethic into every project, always striving to create work that tells a story, sparks joy, and connects with people.
