Design has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I got my first computer, I immediately started experimenting with layouts, graphics, and anything I could get my hands on.
That curiosity eventually led me to art school, where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts and developed the creative foundation that still shapes my work today.
After graduating, I stepped into the design world as the lead designer at a video game startup. It was fast-paced, creative, and a little chaotic in the best way. Around that same time, life started changing quickly as a new wife and mother.
A Little About Me
(and a Lot About Design)
My business actually started in a slightly unexpected place: Etsy. I launched a stationery and invitation shop as a way to bring in income quickly while I quietly built my web design portfolio behind the scenes. It worked. Clients started coming in, my skills kept growing, and before long the invitation business slowly gave way to what I truly loved most — designing brands and websites.
For more than a decade, I designed websites on WordPress. I worked with entrepreneurs across the world, helped brands grow, and refined my process along the way. But when I discovered Showit, everything clicked. The design freedom, the flexibility, the ability to create truly custom experiences. I switched platforms and never looked back.
Today, I specialize in Showit website design and branding, helping mostly women-owned businesses elevate their online presence with websites that feel polished, intentional, and completely aligned with their brand.
Over the years, I’ve worked with clients around the world and helped thousands of entrepreneurs improve their websites and branding. Watching a client launch a new site with confidence never gets old.
Because at the end of the day, design isn’t just my job.
It’s what I love.
And I began dreaming about building something of my own.
So I did.

My Journey
I know how powerful a great website can be. I’ve seen it transform businesses, attract dream clients, and create real opportunities for entrepreneurs.
That’s why I design websites that don’t just look beautiful — they help businesses grow, connect, and stand out.
What started as curiosity has turned into a lifelong love for design.
The Passion Behind the Design
When I’m not designing websites, you’ll probably find me:
Drinking an iced coffee (or two)
Planning our next Disney Vacation
Adding to my jewelry collection
Spending time with my family
Singing to our cats and dog
Traveling with my daughter for cheer
