Hello, and thank you for visiting. I'm a multidisciplinary creative who has enjoyed a varied career as a graphic designer, photographer, art director, writer, educator, communications specialist, and environmental advocate. This site is something of a collection of favorite projects. I hope you enjoy wandering through it.

 

As a creative, I've worn many hats, sometimes well, mostly challenging, but always interesting. Beyond my work in the field of graphic design, I co-founded Marsh Dog, an eco sustainable dog treat company; published Evangeline Reconsidered, a non-fiction study of the Acadian icon; exhibited works from a documentary project, The Art of Handmade Commercial Signage in Louisiana; art directed a multi-media installation for Barq's in the Southern Food and Beverage Museum; and contributed an article to 64 Parishes magazine, Orangine. The Creole Creation Behind Barq's. ​​A

I completed an MFA in graphic design from Louisiana State University and a Fellowship in environmental communication from Loyola University New Orleans, and I maintain an endless curiosity in regional history, culture, and the natural world. My Gulf Coast roots have often inspired work that has been recognized in the fields of graphic design, conservation, and photography. 

​

Currently, I design, write, and photograph for clients while continuing work on personal projects. It's also my joy to contribute to causes and initiatives I believe in, such as cancer awareness, responsible pet ownership, entrepreneurship, cultural preservation, and environmental education.

 

My three Borzoi and I reside in historic Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
