For nearly three decades, I have helped brands find their voice, shape their identity, and communicate with clarity and intention. As the founder of a marketing and graphic design firm with 25 years in practice — and 30 in the industry — I have built a career at the intersection of strategy, visual communication, and the art of making businesses unforgettable.

Now I am taking that work one dimension further.

I am currently completing UCLA Extension's Interior Design program, an 83-credit professional credential built on UCLA's rigorous curriculum standards. This builds on my B.F.A. — the foundational degree most practicing interior designers hold — and reflects a deliberate evolution in how we should think about brand expression: not just on the page or screen, but also in the physical spaces where people live, work, and experience a brand in three dimensions.

The through line across all of it is the same: great design is never decoration. It is communication, a story. I work with clients who understand that a brand is not a logo — it is an experience. And an experience does not stop at the front door. Here is my final architectural design board for the class Digital Presentation 468.

The election is getting close and and it has been a pleasure helping Joe and his team. I've known Joe for over 35 years and fully endorse him as the BEST mayoral candidate for Sioux Falls. He truly understands how cities work, has a proven record leading Downtown Sioux Falls, and he loves his home town. Visit joeforsiouxfalls.com for more information.

When I started my business 22 years ago, it was out of my basement so that I could be home with my very small children. The plan was to take on employees and move to an external office when my youngest went to kindergarten. I stuck to the plan, and on move in day to my new external office, this plant showed up. A gift from my mother in law. I remember thinking, “how long will I keep this thing alive.” A thought not unlike the ones I had when I started my business.

We laid my mother-in-law to rest last month, and so today I think of her fondly, grateful for her support. It is only through the grace of God and a lot of support, that I have kept this plant (18 years old now), my business, and so many other things, alive. Motherhood reminds us of the criticalness of nurturing support. Happy Mothers Day. 🌱🪴

We are so excited to announce a new App that we've been working on for quite some time. Introducing the Client Feedback Tool. It allows us to better interpret the needs of clients, for example:

“Make it pop” → “I have no idea what I want”
“Something feels off” → “I will not specify”
“Can you just tweak it?” → “Start over”

The developers have been kind enough to create a preview that doesn't require download and it's free. Check it out for yourself!

It seems like the world has forgotten about good copywriting. It is so tempting to create a this -is-the-list-of-what-we-do-ad. For example, on the surface, Nell's Gourmet provides food, right? Not from an advertising perspective, people already have food in the fridge, they have a need that is something deeper. Dig deeper, and connect with your audience.
