Hi there!

I'm a Gemini - a communicator at heart for stories that bring meaning to our lives. After spending nearly a decade sharing the breadth and depth of Danish-American culture through exhibitions, publications, and digital platforms, I've expanded my focus to include Planetary Health communications. Whether I'm designing a print piece, writing a newsletter, or developing a campaign strategy, my goal remains the same: advance the common good. Currently, I'm pursuing research in vernacular architecture and its role in community development and identity.

About me

Studied public relations And working in communications  for 13+ years since.

B&W Photo

My work combines rigorous research with creative storytelling, whether I'm designing exhibitions, producing publications, or developing digital experiences. I have a particular interest in how  historical insights can inform contemporary development and behavior.

Film photography, zines, and prairie landscapes inspire my creative practice, while my professional work has spanned communications work across a range of fascinating topics. I bring a keen eye for style, a deep appreciation for history and placemaking, and a touch of dry/wry humor to everything I (appropriately) can.

Good packaging design and ballet make my heart go pitter-pat in the very best ways.

My kids are my masterpieces.
