About

Hello

I’m a Senior Production Designer based in Portland, Oregon, with over 15 years of experience in packaging systems, brand identity, production design, regulatory compliance, and e-commerce.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Iowa State University, specializing in Drawing, Painting, and Printmaking. My less formal education can be attributed to seeing live music and learning from my kids who I am vicariously reliving my childhood through.

“Simple is good.” — Jim Henson


What I Offer

As a production designer, I enjoy being the middle-man between a fantastic concept and the way it’s presented to the customer. It allows me to flex technical muscles for design programs while letting my creativity and eye for detail be fed. My career has taken me deep into the cannabis industry, where I’ve built packaging systems that scale across hundreds of SKUs while meeting complex regulatory requirements.
