Yo, I'm an art director in Chicago.
If you're looking for someone who can create well-designed comps, sing in a meeting, come up with strategic ideas with just the right amount of weird, improve your cubicle decor, and make you a falsetto playlist, then I'm your girl.
I'm a Pisces art director in Chicago who loves sequins, a high bun, diluted beverages, and a new keyboard shortcut. I'm the fifth out of eight children, so I will always make my voice heard. I've been told only 2% of the population has green eyes, so I'm pretty unique.
I'm currently available for freelance work and full-time opportunities.
I am now available to freelance at your agency. I love projects from huge to tiny and from broadcast/traditional to digital/social. I love to work hard with smart people, so let's do this!

Exit The Dragon (ETD) is a semi-secret, quasi-legal agency dedicated to building start-up brands like Greater Than Beverages, LLC (drinkgt.com). In exchange for money or stock, of course.

I work with ST5K and Alan Spindlephonic on my record collection as well as killer ideas for up and coming brands. If Exit the Dragon did not exist, you would have to create it. But you don't have to create it, because we've done that for you.

I walked backwards and showed potential students and their parents all over campus.
I loved this job because I got to talk to people all day about myself... and the school.
I worked on the Cricket account, and learned that I LOVED working in advertising, but that I should put my nose to the grindstone on my graphic design major and get a creative job!
Designed potential websites for undergraduate departments at the University.
Mesmerizing.
Either Philip Barlow refuses to wear glasses or he’s just really good at painting out of focus scenes.
Wethinks the latter.

Jess made amends for slapping the mime of my face. I give thanks for the skinny chin she drew.

Do yourselves a favor. Go to Whole Foods. Buy a pack of 365 Dark Chocolate Mini Grahams. Put them in the fridge. Eat them 3 at a time out of a tiny dish. #decadence. (Taken with Instagram)

THEY ASSUME WE ACTED LIKE:
BUT WE REALLY ACTED LIKE:
Someone teach me guitar and then put a baby inside me.
I love that they check in with each other like “Isn’t Dad the BEST?!?”
Good luck trying to go through the rest of the day as a cynical harumph puppy. It ain’t gonna happen.
My ovaries just imploded.
