I walk you through each aspect of the process to make sure you understand  the steps and feel on the same page. We find the magic between what you like + a whole lot of what is going to attract your ideal audience. 

My focus is to not only create a beautiful design but to also create a strategic design with thought and intention in every detail. Every  aspect should resonate with and captivate your ideal audience.

Who you are and what you create is special. I want to help everyone else see how special you are too. You deserve to work with someone who is as hyped about your new branding as you are. And to that I say: I got you. 

I grew up in a home of analytics who love and live in a land of numbers, but I saw the world through colors. I was always happiest when my time was spent painting, drawing, sculpting, acting, and writing poems.  

It was in college, studying graphic design, where my creative spirit was given purpose and I learned the magic that can be created with intentional use of shape, color, and typography. I learned that strong design and cohesive branding has a massive impact on people’s feelings and more importantly on their business decisions and life choices. 

Design matters. Story matters. And I would love to help you tell yours.

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure to work and design for a wide swath of businesses, from large companies such as Chick-fil-A and the Houston Ballet to small single-owned and operated companies such as Macy Pate Photography. Through it all, one valuable lesson has stuck with me:
