About

With a robust educational background in Graphic Design and Business Marketing from Oregon State University, I have carved a niche in the creative industry. As the Co-Founder of Dash Content Collective, I lead as a Creative Director, Content Writer, and Product Photographer, crafting compelling marketing strategies. My entrepreneurial journey began with Pickle Jar Studios, LLC, where I specialized in print, web, illustration, and branding, with a unique flair for food design and publications. My work is often described as highly conceptual and visually stunning. My previous roles include Graphic Designer at Vitamin T, where I honed skills in print, web, and social media design, and as a Freelance Graphic Designer for ConceptDrop. I also served as a Jr. Graphic and Web Designer at Ecova, contributing to web, print, and interactive projects. My passion lies in creating visually captivating and conceptually rich designs.
