Creative Director · Brand Identity

I mix creativity with a little magic.

I want every project to feel like something. Something with story, purpose, a little edge, and always bold.

A little about me.

Brand and identity design with story, purpose, and a little edge.

I'm a brand and identity designer with 7+ years of experience, currently Creative Director and Brand Identity Manager at Kona BBQ, where I shape the whole look and feel of the brand. That covers everything from the logo on the bottle to the campaign in your feed.

What I really care about are the details that make a brand stick. The right type, the right color, the small choices most people never notice but always feel. Strategy matters to me, but so does the moment it all comes to life.

Across branding, packaging, social, advertising, photography, and merch, my goal stays the same: keep it sharp, keep it consistent, and never let it get boring.

Outside of work

When I'm off the clock, I'm a proud cat mom to two beautiful shadow angels. I love a little magic in everyday life, so you'll usually find me deep in a fantasy world, planning my next renaissance faire, in the boxing gym, or reading my chart.
