Hi—

I’m a Denver-based creative professional who brings together strategic business management and a love for thoughtful, intentional design. Design isn’t the full scope of my day-to-day—it’s one important thread woven through my role managing and supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs. Through design, I help bring brands and stories to life in ways that feel genuine and meaningful.

I was the kid who spent half my high school days in the art studio—drawing, painting, mixing media—thanks to a teacher who believed in me and sparked my creative confidence early on. I earned my B.S. in Natural Resource Tourism in 2015, which opened my eyes to the world and gave me the curiosity and courage to travel places I never would have considered before.

After college, I dove into small business operations, learning to wear many hats and becoming a master at keeping things running behind the scenes. Since 2017, alongside managing business operations, I’ve been freelancing as Crystal Bones, bringing mostly self-taught design skills (with a little help from my brother who is actually a trained designer) to projects I believe in—to craft thoughtful, artful visuals.

I’m driven by a hunger to keep learning and grow as a designer, always wanting my work to support brands and missions rooted in community, authenticity, and care.

Outside of the studio, you can usually catch me on a trail with my dog, deep in a game night with friends, off exploring some corner of the world, or quietly noodling over the overwhelming and fascinating truth that we are, somehow, alive.
