About Me

I've got decade of experience building brand systems, designing dynamic websites, and elevating the user experience for digital products. However, my journey to becoming a designer was anything but typical.

Although I studied graphic design and psychology as an undergrad, I was set on a career in the sciences. Specifically, I enrolled in a graduate program for archaeology at the University of Mississippi.

Following grad school and needing a break from school before pursuing a doctorate, I started taking odd design and content creation jobs. This quickly snowballed into a growing pool of clients and other opportunities.

I finally accepted this design path and began expanding my skillset through a combination of independent study, e-learning resources, and mentorships. Eventually, I found myself leading a creative team at a marketing and design agency.

As the Creative/Design Director and Principal Designer at Alan + Co, my focus is on leveraging my team and a diverse toolkit to amplify brand visibility and drive engagement for a portfolio of clients.
