I'm a Detroit-born, Houston-based creative on a mission: to design brands that move people — and help underrepresented founders get seen, remembered, and trusted in the rooms where it counts.

Design with purpose
Design that matches the size of your vision.
For eight years I've helped brands find the visual language that matches the size of their vision. I lead with both heart and strategy — turning a founder's idea into a magnetic, cohesive identity that resonates with the people they're trying to reach and actually converts them.
My work sits at an intersection I care about deeply: making professional branding accessible to the founders who need it most. Because who gets seen shapes who gets funded — and a great idea shouldn't stay invisible for lack of a budget.
By the numbers
What I do
Brand-building, end to end
From the first strategy conversation to a launch-ready identity — plus coaching to keep you on-brand, and a wellness practice for the whole person behind the work.
Brand Identity & Design
The complete visual system for your brand — logo, color, type, and the rules that keep it consistent everywhere it shows up. Bold, thoughtful, and deeply human.
Creative Strategy
Before the pretty comes the plan. I help you clarify what you stand for and how to say it — so every piece of design is pulling toward the same goal.
Canva Coaching & Templates
Professional brand principles shouldn't require a professional design budget. I teach founders and small teams to apply real design fundamentals with the tools already in their hands.
Sound Healing & Wellness
Through Charmed by Intuition, my wellness practice, I create healing spaces — guiding people through breath and sound to reclaim rest, energy, and ancestral wellness.
“Design is not decoration. In the hands of founders who've never had access to it, it is infrastructure.”
