Hello.

Creative Outlook

Design is a curatorial process that is used to accomplish an objective. The result—a piece of art, graphic design, writing, or other creative work—should have an aesthetic that cooperates with its practical or critical function. A successful project is one that works well, looks great, and is appropriate to its use/user. There are few things more satisfying than executing a project well. One of those things is producing a great work as part of a team of dedicated, talented people. I am seeking a work environment that offers variety, new experiences, and great people. If you are looking for someone who is smart, reliable, craft-conscious, good-humored, and willing to work outside her comfort zone then you've found her.

Bio

I grew up in a home where art, learning, and the outdoors were integral parts of daily life. My passions are, as a result, a nice blend of the nerdy and robust. I will happily spend hours digging in the yard, kerning type, refinishing furniture, cruising Wikipedia or Ad Rants, riding my bike, and skulking around friends' art studios. Following my interest in visual culture, I became a Communications student at the university in my hometown. I quickly added a second degree and an art history minor. Then I moved to San Francisco to attend grad school, where I earned a Masters' in Curatorial Practice. Needless to say, I love art, design, and all the heavy thinking around them. That said, I also really, really love to make things. I was the kid who constantly rummaged through the pastels, the woodpile, or the fabric box and was chided almost daily for leaving tools out. Since then, I have learned that pastels melt in the rain. I also now have a respect for tools, bobbins, and large spiders. But some things never change and I still always have one or two personal projects in the works. These small engagements are opportunities to for me to learn new skills or benefit others.
