Summary
I have always been an artist at heart. My speciality is book design, laying out and lovingly typsetting all kinds of books. I also have a passion for stationery & invitation design, and create digital works as well as good old made-by-hand pieces. I have experience designing a wide variety of projects (logos, brochures, ads, flyers, books, book covers, event invitations) for a wide variety of clients (non profits, big publishing houses, independent authors, vineyard owners, universities.) I currently live in Nashville, but was born & raised in south Texas. I happily live & work with my husband and our 3 dogs, who don't actually do any work at all.

About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
I am a creative soul with a passion for graphic design. I have worked on all sorts of projects for all sorts of people,
and believe that good design benefits everyone. I have an eye for color and enjoy creating pleasing pallets. I lean towards simplicity and harmony, but can step outside the boundaries when need be. I can craft a single thank-you card or typeset a 400 page book, and bring ingenuity to both (and everything in between). I will create good design because I love good design.
