the QueenPin

Art is my passion. Design is my love.

I am a Senior Graphic and Digital Designer based in Savannah, Georgia. With over 16 years of experience, I’m an accomplished artist and multi-dimensional designer specializing in multimedia brand experiences. Throughout the years I have worn many hats, or crowns, having filled the role of Art Director, Senior Graphic and Digital Designer, and Marketing Manager. Recognized for my strategic planning and analytical thinking, my work has directly influenced the growth and success of several local and national organizations. Clients specifically seek out my work because of my detailed eye and imaginative design approach.

THE QUEEN TAKES THE THRONE - 
At the intersection of art and design.

A sketchbook, pencil, and a dining room table full of paintings and drawings is how QueenPin Design would eventually find its start. Art is my foundation which inspires and distinguishes my work. I created QueenPin Design in 2002 after working for Savannah Magazine designing ads for small mom-and-pop businesses. My naturally artistic hand and enthusiastic creativity built these smaller businesses a visible identity. What started with a small Savannah magazine, has grown to a nationally recognized portfolio.

THE ROYAL COURT -
Consists of my always-singing, Archie-comic-loving 13-year-old daughter. We also share our home with three rescue fur babies: a sweet dog, a newly added kitten, and a very patient cat. When I’m not working, I love trying new restaurants, kayaking, bicycling, oil painting, hiking, drinking "Southern" tea, collecting 1970s Nancy Drew books, researching design trends, and exploring the internet for great fonts.
