Senior Designer in the East Lincoln county area of North Carolina. Specializing in all types of graphic design: business cards, letterhead, book layout, brochures, signage, etc and web design: user interface design, webpage design, landing pages, web advertisements, social media graphics, CMS maintenance and development (WordPress, Drupal, Wix).
I’m a seasoned designer with experience in print, web, and digital media.
I have a passion for learning, adapting, and growing my knowledge and skillset. I’ve learned to face failure by reviewing all aspects of the situation and finding the lesson, so that I can adapt for the next opportunity and not make the same mistakes.
I am neurodivergent, which helps me think quickly, process multiple options at once, find patterns where others might not see them, and come up with solutions that advance business objectives. This also means that I may need to ask clarifying questions, and I may be awkward with small talk and open-ended questions.
The bottom line is: I’m a detail-oriented perfectionist who works hard, learns quickly, and is not satisfied until I’ve exceeded expectations.
Project Summary
Biggest Challenge:
There was already an interface, so the developers did not want to spend extra time re-coding the interface to make match the designed prototype. To help with their resistance, I coded the elements and sent them the source files to add to their code base. This allowed them to keep working on the functional parts of the software and helped us meet our MVP deadline.

Project Summary
The SMADIE event is held online annually. I’ve been supporting the event since its inception. The current website is built using WordPress, so that team members can easily help manage content updates. The digital collateral for this event includes PPT slides, social media graphics, logo updates, and a livestream page for the event stream.
Biggest Challenge:
Since we moved the project away from Stanford University School of Medicine’s base web system (AEM), we still needed to retain the visual identity and standard components of the SoM design templates. This was accomplished by closely following the published design guidelines.

Project Summary
This real estate website’s goal was to be different than every other agent website. We did this in both the look and feel and the content. Since most clients use large platforms like Zillow for home searches, we excluded the standard home search widgets from the site. The colors are chosen to elicit excitement, as well as visually indicate that this brokerage is different from the typical brokerage.
This brand design and website are a personal project.

Project Summary
I worked with the primary physician scientists for this project. Their work was accepted to the journal, and they were asked to generate something unique for the cover that depicted their work.
The image shows “the independent and synergistic effect of sound waves (curved white lines) and mesenchymal stem cells (which are arriving at the kidney via its blood supply) in stimulating kidney regeneration following injury. The small yellow circles represent the release of growth/regeneration-promoting factors following treatment.”
Biggest Challenge:
The challenge with this illustration was showing the complex vasculature and its association with the renal lobes. This vasculature is important to the therapy in that the physicians can use the vasculature to deliver the treatment and use the focused sound waves to activate the treatment, hence minimizing systemic exposure to treatment.
