Founder

I am a dabbler in all things creative and an adventurer at heart. I am skilled in graphic design and marketing and would like to use my creative abilities to enhance the world around me. I have a bachelor's degree in Apparel Merchandising. I have 10+ years' experience in the outdoor industry specializing in visual merchandising, marketing, social media, buying and assortment planning, and management.

I started Bloom Creative Labs as a unique creative agency with an artistic and versatile approach. I am a creative problem-solver that loves a challenge. I've partnered with small businesses, non-profits, and corporate and membership organizations, and many others to design highly impactful, customized brand identities, results-focused marketing initiatives, and even efficiency-improving spreadsheets and processes.
