As an entrepreneur, designer, developer, and social media specialist with nearly 15 years of experience, my mission is to help build community around businesses in the new social media revolution through integrated branding, web development and creative marketing media.

My visual expertise and attention to detail was refined in the earlier part of my career as a designer and art director for print media. Excitement for new technology and the immediacy of connection through the Internet brought me bounding into the field of helping businesses and individuals create effective web presences.

I graduated with a B.A. from Columbia College Chicago in 1996 and then went on to receive an M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Book & Paper Arts in 2004. In 2004 I was awarded an artists residency from the Ragdale Foundation.

As an artist I create handmade boxes, books and projects in letterpress, painting, drawing and collage. I also teach art, design and computer courses.

I am originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I now reside in Highland Park, Illinois with my husband and two sons.
