Keeping my inner child alive one design at a time.
I was born and raised in Central Illinois and attended college at Western Carolina University on a full athletic scholarship. There I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts; Concentration in Graphic Design. I thrived for four years as a Division I student-athlete where I learned the importance of time management, collaborating with various personalities, and utilizing determination and discipline to achieve a goal.
As a specialist in print, I desired to become a well-rounded designer so I gained a new skillset from Northwestern’s Coding Boot Camp. The distinguished school supplied accomplished instructors and a top-notch curriculum leaving me with the tools needed to succeed in the world of web development.
My strong work ethic and attention to detail make me a dependable employee. I am committed to integrating creativity with functionality. I specialize in telling compelling stories and creating memorable brand experiences across various mediums, including print, web, and video. I am proud to have played a pivotal role in winning 13 national marketing and design awards in all three mediums.
In my free time, I like being active whether that’s biking, playing beach volleyball, or throwing a tennis ball for my dog, Wrigley, until my arm gets tired. I am the proud mother of a baby girl and my goal in life is to be a positive role model for her.

“Shortly after Liz and I began working at College of The Albemarle we were tasked with a complete rebrand. From working with our partner marketing firm on logo development, to a brand asset assessment to full implementation across every platform, Liz was an integral part of the team and took the lead on many of the initiatives. Liz is a consummate professional with an expert creative eye and the ability to build consensus, lead teams and drive measurable results. In addition to all this, Liz is truly a joy to work with bringing a passionate drive, a "what can I do to help" attitude and a terrific sense of humor.”

Senior Development Officer, Presbyterian Children's Homes and Services
“Liz's graphic design work was fresh, well designed and thought out and included great photography — photos that she took. She is willing to take risks with her design to provide her employer new options for something that may have been created for years — very academically.”
