Through thoughtful design and strategic guidance, I help women create a legacy that lasts, while living a life they truly love.
Growing up as an only child in the same small town I live in today, I was always surrounded by creativity. My grandmother, an artist herself, was my biggest cheerleader, encouraging me to explore the arts from a young age. From crafting to playing clarinet, my childhood was filled with creative activities. By the time I was 15, I was already dreaming of working from home—way before it was the thing to do. Back then, I thought I’d be an animator for Disney, but as life often does, things took a different turn...
Fast forward to 2019, I found myself in a job that felt completely out of sync with who I was. The commute into Birmingham, AL, was brutal, and I never felt like I fit in with my coworkers, especially when it came to my faith. One day, while hiding out in the bathroom at work, I stumbled upon an ad for an online business course. Without hesitation, I signed up, marking January 13, 2020, as the official start of my business journey.
When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, I lost that design job, but instead of panicking, I saw it as an opportunity. I began teaching ESL online and dove headfirst into building my business. By the end of 2020, I felt God nudging me toward focusing more on my polymer clay art, which led to unexpected opportunities, including landing a graphic design retainer client who became instrumental in my growth as a business owner.
July 2022 was another turning point. After years of juggling multiple part-time jobs, I finally took the leap to go full-time with my design business.
Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of clients—lawyers, educators, podcasters, copywriters, wedding professionals, wellness brands, marching bands, event rental companies, HR consultants and more. Each project has reinforced my belief in the power of meaningful, intentional design, and I’m excited to bring that same energy to new industries and clients who share my vision.
I’m here to help you craft a brand and website that not only looks stunning but also simplifies your business and instills confidence.
Together, we’ll create something that feels true to who you are, evolves with you, and stands the test of time. Ready to make something amazing together? Go ahead and schedule your free 30-minute consult!
