Service is as important
as services.
Creativity, strategic thinking and impeccable client service: That’s what you’ll get when you work with me. I put my extensive experience and expertise to work to further your goals.
Depth and breadth = value.
Going wide and diving deep are not mutually exclusive – we need to do both to get to the essence of a business’s core needs and value.
I work with small/medium businesses to develop branding and communications that help them stand out, compete and punch above their weight.
Unlike a lot of creative service firms, I have been an SME for many years, so I understand the challenges growing businesses face. My clients and I work as a team to uncover the voice that sets them apart in crowded markets. Together, we create messaging that builds connection, strengthens their brand, and drives growth.
A bit about me.
After earning an MFA from the University of Oregon with the goal of teaching at the university level, I moved to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, where I pivoted to creative services. I found to my surprise that these were much more interesting. I love learning about other people’s work and goals.
After establishing a design business in Port Angeles, I later added branding and communications, allowing me to offer integrated creative services at a level and cost that works for growing businesses. This is where I found my true calling: working one on one with owners and direct decision makers. I can dive deeply into problem solving, and at the same time provide a broad overview of the way forward.
