I’m a visual designer who uses a range of tools to communicate client messages to their audience.

My schooling is in painting and printmaking, but I quit a grad program to work on a trail crew in Southeast Alaska. This launched me into a career of communicating complicated concepts in simple ways. First as an interpretive ranger, then as an outdoor educator and field science support logistician, and now visually as a designer.
