In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

Summary

I am a self-motivated individual with a passion for design, photography, dance, and making things beautiful. A pretty aesthetic social feed makes me so happy! :) Having worked as a brand manager and creative director for several companies, I love relationship building, brand development and driving quality-focused projects to fruition. From creating mood and inspo boards, to bringing a vision and story to life through photos/videos, I love the creative process. Working for start-ups you are often tasked with wearing multiple hats, so being curious, teachable, detail oriented, and adaptable is very important. I've loved being able to be involved in so many different areas of business. From designing products, photoshoots, videos, editing, social media presence, branding, website design, influencer collabs, marketing, emails, even designing packaging, every aspect is an important piece to creating a cohesive brand voice and vision.

My greatest accomplishment is being a mother to four amazing kids who ground me and light up my life. I love the outdoors, dancing in the kitchen with my kids, binging a good book or true crime doc, and cuddling with my golden retriever, Gigi. Give me some good food and a puzzle and I'm a happy camper. The older I get the more I am appreciative of the time we have, being present with the people we choose to spend it with, and noticing the beauty in every aspect of life.
