I’m a multi-disciplinary designer dedicated to helping small business entrepreneurs, event planners, and leaders of non-profit organizations share their stories, causes, and monumental moments in a meaningful and beautiful way.

Before starting Story & Flourish, I began my design career in the Greetings division at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City. I later worked as a packaging designer for Fourstar Group, a global product development and consumer goods agency outside of Boston, where I created in-house package and retail licensing identity systems for Target, Walmart, Walgreens, and other national retailers. I continued my career with non-profit organizations as a designer and professor, working for the National PTA, Columbia College Chicago, and teaching Visual Communications and Design software courses at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and DePaul University. Now, with decades of experience working in-house, teaching, and freelance work behind me, Story & Flourish is my small business venture, where design and my entrepreneurial spirit takes shape.

When I’m not working with clients, I’m watching movies, listening to podcasts, working out, and spending time with my family. I live in Evanston, IL with my husband and daughter who inspire me every day.
