About
I am a creative professional with a background in surface and product design. My most recent work has been designing seasonal, home decor, floral, apparel, ribbon, and glass products as well as developing company wide seasonal trends from concept through design for Michaels Stores, Inc. My work ethic and eagerness to solve problems has made me a versatile designer working both independently and within a team. I thrive on taking on new challenges and pushing myself as a designer.
