I'm a self-taught designer and developer with relentless self-motivation, the discipline to deliver, and the curiosity to stay abreast of design and marketing trends.
In my amazing career, I've had the privilege to work with Fortune 500 companies and small start-ups. I'm best known for my optimistic nature, team-building skills, creativity, and clean design aesthetic.Â
I'm also the proud mom of identical twin boys, an entrepreneur who has appeared on MSNBC's Elevator Pitch, a Confidence Coach, Content Creator, and a Hip, Rock & Soul Recording artist who's toured the country with the legendary P-Funk artist George Clinton.
