Who I am

I earned my BFA from the University of Evansville in 1996 and began my career at Firehouse Image Center’s digital media department. Initially, I specialized in 35mm images, later advancing to the position of PrePress Director following completion of SCITEX training. Departing Firehouse in 1998, I joined At-A-Glance, where I forged connections with individuals who remain colleagues at Trends today. Following Mead’s acquisition of At-A-Glance, I chose not to relocate to Dayton, Ohio, opting instead to contribute to my family’s Lawncare business. For a decade, I managed operations there until 2010 when an opportunity arose to rekindle my passion for design. Joining Trends as a designer in 2010, I steadily progressed, assuming roles as Senior Designer and ultimately Senior Manager of Visual and Design in 2021. This journey reflects my unwavering commitment to nurturing my creative instincts while embracing diverse professional challenges.
