A Bit About Me
I was born and raised in Wichita Falls, TX, where I was heavily involved in many community activities, boards, and committees. I began my graphic design journey in high school working on the newspaper and yearbook. I knew at the age of 5 I wanted to work in graphic design and my mother told me I would spend hours looking at magazines to understand and admire the craft. After high school, I quickly showed my skillsets at the local newspaper in their creative services department. After 10 years there, I worked at a couple different advertising agencies honing my skills. I was noticed by a private company and they brought me in to be their Marketing Director. Learning media buying, vendor relations, and in-house marketing management. Once I was hired by the local Chamber of Commerce, my skill sets began to bloom as we elevated their brand, marketing, voice, and social media presence.
​
I started dabbling in art (again) around 2018 and that led to painting 5 life-size horse sculptures as well as a newfound love of face and body painting.
​
Now, I'm in South Texas, in the Gulf Coast region, looking to expand my passion to help other businesses thrive in marketing their brand and to bring a little magic to parties with face painting.
