I grew up in the Bull City (Durham, NC), the daughter of displaced mid-westerners. I’ve been fantasizing about future professions since I was in grade-school, including but not limited to; news anchor, ballerina, veterinarian, pop star, slam poet, DJ, and figure skater.  Lucky for the sports and entertainment industries, I discovered the world of Graphic Design in high school and have been enamored ever since. I graduated from NC State University’s College of Design and before joining the ABT team, I spent some time supporting local musicians and honing my typography skills.

I have a special place in my heart reserved for sea-foam green, French bulldogs and Hip hop music.
