Lettering that lives between bold and beautiful
Me…in a nutshell
I grew up in Baltimore (a quirky yet charming city with a thriving art and design scene, and problems like any other city, but somehow completely different than any other city, ). Being a Baltimorean shapes how I see things and how I interact with them. I look for the unusual, the thing that isn’t perfect, but if you look closely, it really is. After bouncing around for a few years I find myself in Baltimore, with my husband and three dogs. I attended the University of Delaware and graduated with a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). I’ve worked at many types of studios, boutique design studios, Universities, a multinational architecture firm, and a public health communications company, to name a few. I have 30+ years of experience.
I've been drawn to lettering and design for as long as I can remember. I create custom work for clients who want lettering and design that captures their imagination and gives them a voice in the process.
My Philosophy & Work
Good lettering can define who you are and what you stand for. It reaches audiences with a human touch.
I believe the work that resonates the most comes from conversation, from really understanding what you need, because it’s not always what you think you need. My process starts with research and dialogue. I want to create something that captures your essence and truly feels like it came from and belongs to you. Every project is unique, but they all share one commonality: they're designed to meet your specific needs.
The most impactful projects happen when clients value collaboration and trust the process. That's when we can create something really special. I love working on projects where meaning matters—where the lettering is part of your story.
My Aesthetic
My style is a combination of punk energy and elegant details. It’s a juxtaposition of bold letterforms with delicate, elegant scripts. Strong color palettes and soft textures. Grit and grace in the same piece.
