I moved to Iowa City to be an artist and graphic designer in 1997 after graduating from Luther College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. I also studied art history for a semester at Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy. In the last 27 years I have designed logos and brand materials for countless local organizations. I have extensive experience with Adobe Creative Suite and am skilled at creating original designs, including hand-drawn illustrations. I also paint and draw, occasionally showing my work in local galleries and shows.

My daughter and I live in an older home close to downtown and we really value the close proximity of everything in Iowa City. My favorite activity is spending time and making art with my daughter Nora - painting and drawing, fiber arts, and various types of mixed media.

We have too many cats, I walk my hound dog everywhere, and I’m a little obsessed with biking and riding RAGBRAI every summer. I especially enjoy live music and theatre, cooking food and socializing with friends at my home, and knitting.
