I am the owner of Amp’d Designs, helping businesses get noticed through bold, unforgettable Branding & Web Design that is deeply rooted in both strategy and business goals, and looks beautiful too. I love working with fearless and ambitious entrepreneurs on designs that convey the intention and quality they put into their work.

I hve a decade of experience as a professional designer, hold a BFA in Communications Design from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, and worked as an art director in NYC before moving to the mountains of Asheville, NC.

I'm also the founder of Make Your Design Matter ®, which provides resources and education to help ambitious self-employed designers grow their businesses.

To me, creators are incredibly inspiring: entrepreneurs, individuals, and groups with fearlessness and ambition. My goal as a graphic designer is to be a resource for business owners to help them grow and amplify their brands.

Initially I found my path to design through music, working with bands and musicians on album art and gig posters. In college, I pivoted to focus on branding for businesses. While that might seem like a big shift, the common thread has always been inspiration and admiration of those I have the pleasure of collaborating with.
