Born and raised in Omaha, NE, I moved to San Francisco at age 18 to attend FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) and earned an A.A. degree in Fashion Design.

 

Upon graduating, I immediately began my career in design as the sole web/graphic designer for a small chain of boutiques called 2bella. Due to the small company size, my responsibilities were vast. I was the graphic designer, web designer, stylist, e-commerce coordinator, social media manager, and also dabbled in apparel/accessories wholesale buying. 

 

My skills gained in design school and at 2bella eventually led me to a job at Mad Engine designing licensed loungewear/sleepwear apparel for big-box retailers, such as Walmart, Target, Hot Topic, and JCPenney. Some of the licenses I designed for included Marvel, Star Wars, Disney, Nickelodeon, Emoji, Netflix's Stranger Things, M&Ms, and Coca-Cola. My design skills and expertise grew here exponentially, as I designed thousands of spot graphics, all-over prints, and engineered prints, as well as prepped my designs for production.

​

Through years of growth and experience as a graphic designer, I decided I was ready to move towards a company where I would be able to design the kinds of clothes I wanted to wear: Dolls Kill. It has been an absolute dream leading their first and only Product Graphic/Textile Design team. We design the graphics and prints for apparel and accessories for all of their owned in-house brands: Current Mood, Delia's, Widow, Sugar Thrillz, Club Exx, Horoscopez, Poster Grl, and licensed collaborations. I am so proud of my team, and we hope to continue to expand and grow. I hope customers enjoy our graphics and prints as much as we enjoy creating them!
