Background:

 Grew up in the San Juan Islands

Zip Code:

 Have lived in Downtown Seattle since 2005

Education:

 Art Institute of Seattle, winning “Best in Show” for portfolio

Theory:

To me, design is not about today; it is about tomorrow. I believe in the acute violation of classic design principles that create that perfect visual interest and tension.
Passions:
 Typography, photography, music and cooking.
Pursuits
 I am always searching for new tactile illustration techniques that get me away from the computer, even for a brief moment.
The best part of my job:
Sharing “that moment” with the client when they realize that they got more than they were expecting.
Biggest nerd moments:

Driving down the freeway quizzing my boyfriend on every typeface that we pass.
And, when he laughs at me when we sit down at a restaurant and I suggest we go somewhere else because their menu is ugly
Other hobbies:
Snowboarding, rock climbing and riding my motorcycle (basically anything that requires a helmet) Making friends and family ridiculously extravagant greeting cards for every occasion I can think of.
