Growing up watching my father, one of the most talented artists I've ever seen, work in this industry inspired my passion for design at a young age. This led me to Drury University and a Bachelors Degree in Design Arts with a minor in Global Communication. Throughout college I scratched my practical design itch by managing at numerous Lids stores and working as the store's embroidery trainer.

After college I started my career with UnderCover Truck Bed Covers. As a part of a young & hungry marketing team I handled everything from print advertising, branding, packaging and POP display creation to managing promotional materials and coordinating photoshoots.

After moving back to St. Louis from Springfield I worked with a local digital marketing agency for about a year before becoming an Art Director at Drive Social Media!

Over the last 5 years at Drive I have really expanded my skill set and portfolio while working on thousands of projects with hundreds of clients in dozens of industries. I have loved every minute of it.  I have written shot-lists and storyboarded commercials. I have earned numerous Duda certifications in UI/UX and built fully functional websites. I have rebranded companies and developed my motion graphic skills. I have acted in videos and posed for photoshoots. I was promoted to Director of Design, was trusted to train the new designers, and that became my favorite part of the job.
