In A Nutshell

I design logos, ads, and images that help farmers and agriculture businesses share their stories and teach people about farming in a clear and accurate way.

I work closely with agricultural clients to understand how they want their organization to be represented.

I use many kinds of media, like print, videos, blogs, and social media, to bring my clients’ vision to life.

I split my time between my home studio and the design firm’s office. At the office, I brainstorm and collaborate on creative ideas with my team. At home, I focus on turning those ideas into designs that grab attention and tell stories, including projects that showcase agriculture in fun and engaging ways.
