About Me

I’m a former educator working on improving myself by exploring new ideas and designing user interfaces for mobile and web. Combining my graphic and visual designing skills with classroom experience to create overall engaging experiences for communities and educators alike.

Creative marketing and communications professional with more than 20 years of experience in graphic design, branding, digital media, photography, videography, traditional art, and community engagement. Proven successful at creating compelling visual communications that strengthen organizational identity, increase public engagement, and communicate complex information in an accessible way.

I am passionate about telling meaningful stories that build trust and strengthen relationships within rural communities.

About First Frontier Studio

At First Frontier Studio, I believe every organization has a story worth telling. My mission is to help businesses, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations communicate that story through thoughtful design, compelling media, and innovative technology.

Rooted in the spirit of the American frontier, I combine creativity with purpose to create visual experiences that inspire, educate, and connect. Whether designing a brand identity, building a website, producing a promotional video, or leading professional development for educators, the goal is always the same: to create meaningful work that makes a lasting impact.

My experience spans graphic design, website development, photography, videography, branding, social media content, and educational technology consulting. With years of experience working in public education alongside creative media production, I understand how to communicate complex ideas in ways that are engaging, accessible, and memorable.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every client has unique goals, audiences, and challenges. That’s why I take the time to listen, collaborate, and develop creative strategies tailored to each project. From the first conversation to the final product, I’ll strive to build lasting partnerships founded on trust, creativity, and exceptional service.
