Built on design, grown into leadership.
I started in fine art, earning my BFA at Paier College of Art, and found my way into design through websites in 2019. At Stone Farm I learned that good design also has to sell: I designed outdoor kitchens, rendered them in 3D, and closed the high-ticket deals that helped take the line from a $26K deficit to $1M+.
Then I spent three years as the only designer inside a multinational CPA firm, carrying the creative weight of an entire brand. I was good at it, and I won an award for it. I was also slowly losing the part of creative work that made me love it. When that chapter ended, I didn't go looking for another place to fit. I built something that felt like mine: Satin & Silk Studio, a brand, website and booking system I created from zero.
Today I lead a four-person creative team at Toto SEO, directing websites and campaigns for clients across the country, while Satin & Silk keeps my hands in the craft. It taught me to slow down inside a moment instead of managing it from the outside, and that's how I lead now.
