About

I'm a creative director and design leader based in Mukilteo, WA with 15+ years of experience building brands, leading teams, and delivering digital experiences that work.

I've run my own studio, Tiny Stars Creative, since 2012 — working with clients across healthcare, nonprofit, marine, tourism, and professional services. I co-founded Best4Boats.com in 2025, leading all brand and design work and growing it to 15,000 monthly visitors and 10,000 newsletter subscribers in under 18 months.

I also teach design at the college level — branding, UI/UX, Business for Creatives, and Adobe CC — which means I spend a lot of time helping designers grow, think critically, and present their work with confidence.
