My Minneapolis
We are at home where we can easily share our lives with those we love and still look up to feel like we are in a forest. Here are some of my favorite pictures I’ve taken of my beautiful city. Welcome of Minneapolis!
Vector Illustrations/Personal Projects
Here are some vector illustrations that I’ve mostly done just for fun or with my students. I love working in Illustrator for its clean lines and attention to detail!
USA Women’s Baseball
I was fortunate to watch tryouts for the USA Women’s Baseball team. My favorite sport since I was a baby, it was encouraging to see all those awesome women play ball! These women are powerhouse-level athletes. Advocacy for women’s sports is so important right now! We’re at a turning point in getting acceptance for equal …
Ship in a Bottle
I am so proud of this one. Not because I know how to do it – but because I bothered putting in the work. Being detailed. Thinking of something clever. I try to put this amount of effort into everything I do – it’s what brings me joy. I had to put a lot of …
Photoshop Color
If you are looking at this post, you get a dose of honesty in advertising. The pandemic made my social life disappear and it highlighted the loneliness of freelancing. I made the decision that I want to be part of a team. I want a full time job. I freelanced part-time for the last 14 …

While she has since moved on to others endeavors, it was my pleasure to help her bring Realizing the Sun, a coaching service, to fruition. We went to the Como Conservatory for her pictures. She absolutely …
Measure4Measure
Again, I was thrilled to be asked by Rough Magic Performance Company to do their advertisement for “Measure4Measure” at the Minnesota Fringe Festival. In this adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, Rough Magic focused on Isabella (played by Alayne Hopkins) and her struggle to remain a virtuous woman in the face misogyny and corruption. …
Much Ado About Nothing
Catherine Johnson of the Rough Magic Performance Company asked me to design their ad campaign for their adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing”. I was delighted with this one, being a big fan of Shakespeare and Rough Magic Performance Company. The eyes above are of Catherine Johnson and Alayne Hopkins, the artistic directors …
ML Microscope
The owner of ML Microscope came to me needing a logo, a postcard to send to clients, and technical labels to be placed on his product, which are surgical microscopes. He wanted simple with clean lines, easily recognizable to clients at a glance. The postcard was intended as an introduction to his clients since he …
