April 2017

Solution-driven co-owner of Image360 Dublin, Signs Now, and Allegra (since 2017), delivering innovative signage and experiential graphics for any industry, with a strong focus on continuous learning and mastering new industry skills. My diverse background includes over 20 years as a roofing company owner in Helena, Montana; managing several nightclubs throughout Helena; serving as a graphic designer for Budweiser; and working as a talent scout and event planner. I bring a unique blend of creative, operational, and entrepreneurial experience to every project, always seeking new ways to collaborate and grow.

Ask me about

Ask me anything—like how running a nightclub, designing for a big brand, or surviving a Montana winter might secretly prepare you for the wild world of signage and graphics. You never know what quirky skill might come in handy!

My super power is

My superpower? Effortlessly juggling wild ideas, creative projects, and a to-do list that would make most people run for cover—all while finding the fun (and maybe a little bit of magic) in every challenge!

I'm looking for

I’m here to connect with creative minds, swap ideas, and learn from others who are passionate about design and visual storytelling. I’m especially interested in expanding my industry knowledge, discovering new trends and best practices, and building meaningful collaborations that help us all grow. If you love sharing insights, brainstorming big ideas, or just geeking out over great design—I’d love to chat!

What I love about experience design

Ask me what I love about mixing up careers, tackling new challenges, or finding the hidden fun in every industry—I’ve probably got a story (or an unexpected lesson) to share!

Best piece of advice I've ever heard

“Stick your neck out for the things (and people) you care about—and don’t forget to pause and enjoy the view from up high every now and then!” 🦒 I’m not sure if I heard this from my Dad, when on a roof, or a giraffe at the Columbus Zoo.

Where I find Inspiration

A few things that inspire me: unexpected beauty in the everyday, crossing paths with beautiful minds, and people who are genuinely passionate—about their work, their hobbies, or just life in general. I love seeing what lights people up and hearing about the things they truly love.
