DIY Journal Workshops

In 2009, I founded my own design business and began working on a few freelance projects a year outside of my full-time design roles. In September 2019, I began the adventure of working for myself full time as the lead designer at Shapes & Colors, where we help business owners use visual communication to make their companies or their marketing work better.I'm a visual artist at heart, so I continue to create physical things off of the computer through bookmaking and jewelry design.I started my design career in the corporate office of Circuit City Stores in the 90’s. Since then I have worked for several in-house corporate marketing teams as a graphic and web designer and had a 7-year stay at a small creative agency in downtown Richmond. I have taught high school and college level art and creative design courses. It's so fun to be in a room of folks creating things and sharing an experience together.I love to see people excited about who they are and what they’re here to do in the world. If you’d like to learn more how to work with me or my team on a creative project, maker experience or educational event, get in touch!
