On
Whidbey
Island
A
Creative
studio
"the sea, once it casts its spell,
holds one in its net of wonder forever."
I spend my days art directing, designing
and illustrating an assortment of products ranging anywhere from children's books, journals, cards, plush, and most recently, children's clothing. I've even had products featured on Oprah's monthly list and The Today Show. Creating any tangible product makes my heart happy.
Also inspired by my love for
every golden retriever in existence.
To stay true to oneself.

about me //
I love creating things that
make people happy.
GOOD DESIGN MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY.
"Stay Gold" is what I like to refer to as my one woman studio (it's also shorter than using my full name for branding). I live on Whidbey Island in Washington. Yes, you read that correctly—an island. Meaning I can run out at any point in the day to whale watch if I so desire. As a midwest native, I will never get over this location.
I am also very into cleaning. No. I am serious. I really love cleaning and organizing. Parents love me. Which is maybe why I love designing so much? It's like organizing in a beautiful way.
If you are into astrology and cosmic profiling, I am a Scorpio— which explains a lot; my closet full of black, anything dark (love a good ghost tour) and my favorite holiday, Halloween (hello, Scorpio season). I also have an acute sixth sense.
I truly feel I have perfected the art of not taking anything too seriously.
I was born in Ohio, but left for the west coast in 2015. I now share a cute little house with my husband, two golden retrievers and our newest arrival, our daughter Winnie. I love spending time with friends and family, traveling and projects around the house. I am ready to take a good nap tomorrow.
I can’t get enough dog in my life. I believe the statement “tell your dog I said hi” was written for me.
