A brief history…

I decided early on in life that I wanted to go to art school and found my way to design while there. Since then, I’ve seen a variety of design roles, freelancing for small businesses, working in-house for startups, supporting big-name brands agency side, and currently, working for one of the most prominent tech names in the industry: Salesforce. My small and mighty team sits within the Experience Design practice in Salesforce’s Professional Services. As a Senior Communication Designer, I use my design, storytelling, and problem-solving skills to craft compelling narratives that empower Salesforce teammates, resonate with customers, and inspire action in audiences.

A communication designer is ready with the creative and technical skills to create visually arresting graphics and the professional skills to handle large, complex projects.

Before joining Salesforce, I was a Presentation Designer at GSD&M, a full-service creative agency in Austin, TX. While there, I supported brands like Pizza Hut, U.S. Air Force, Capital One, Hilton, Southwest Airlines, and Universal Parks & Resorts. My experience includes the following: 

  • creating custom pitch decks for executive leadership 

  • distilling complex information into clear design solutions for B2B and B2C brands

  • developing video/motion graphics for social channels 

  • supporting marketing teams with targeted design solutions

  • mentoring junior designers

I currently reside in Austin with my husband and our dog, Gus. Outside work, you’ll find me exploring the TX food/music scene, experimenting with different art mediums, or tackling a DIY project around our new home.
