My Work & My Passions

By Day

I'm a Chicago-grown designer, storyteller, and artist fueled by a love of people and beautiful things. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I'm currently freelancing as I build my own Design Consultation business, Details in Between. Recent clients include; Northwestern University, H&R Block, Goldman Sachs, Southland Development Authority, and Cook County.

Prior to freelancing, I worked at Cook County Circuit Court as Chief Deputy Clerk for Web Services and Northwestern University where I was the Interim Director for Student Affairs Marketing. In my roles, I created and executed design concepts while maintaining the visual appearance, usability, and continuity of the respective brands. As lead Graphic Designer for the Northwestern University Student Affairs, I was responsible for developing strategic communication plans, actionable design solutions, and establishing a stylistic direction on behalf of the University. I worked to develop instructional content and creative marketing solutions to inform the Northwestern community of events, programs, and initiatives.
