Welcome

I run a woman- owned State of California Certified Small Business and I am a registered Federal Government Contractor based in California’s Sierra Nevada foothills, where I provide services in graphic and website design, writing & illustration. With advanced degrees in both biology and illustration, I strive to make my work both technically accurate as well as esthetically pleasing.  

My completed projects are diverse, including website designs for scientists, illustrations for children’s books & laboratory manuals, graphics for interpretive exhibits, curriculum materials for environmental education programs, and marketing materials for local businesses. I enjoy the challenge each new project brings and working collaboratively with my clients to provide the best solutions within their vision, time frame and budget. I absolutely love what I do, and look forward to speaking with you about how I can assist with your project.
