Role: Lead Designer, Marketing Specialist
I have designed instructional and interpretive signage for public agencies, schools, and cities. My work combines clear communication, illustration, and environmental education to help people better understand and interact with the landscapes around them.
Crossroads High School | Granite Falls, WA
I designed 19 interpretive signs for the sphagnum bog habitat at Crossroads High School, replacing decades-old signage with a more engaging learning experience for students.
The project included a permanent 2 × 3 ft. interpretive sign that explores the bog’s history, from its formation during the last Ice Age to its ecological importance today, along with 18 plant identification signs placed throughout the boardwalk. Together, the signs create a self-guided experience that helps students identify native species while learning about this rare ecosystem.
Leque Island Trailhead | Camano Island, WA
In 2021, Sound Salmon Solutions surveyed five Snohomish County parks and found that Leque Island Trail had a capital P problem: poop, and lots of it! Located within the Port Susan–South Skagit Bay estuary, the trail sits near commercially harvested shellfish beds that are vulnerable to fecal bacteria pollution.
I designed a colorful, bold sign to grab attention on the regulatory-heavy trail sign. This illustration follows the style of the locally-recognizable Skagit County Poop Smart campaign to reinforce an existing public education effort.
Displays: Farmers, Fisheries & Flood Districts
For the premiere of Life in the Floodplain, I designed a series of large-format displays that highlighted the people behind the Sustainable Lands Strategy, a partnership between farmers, fisheries, and flood management advocates working toward shared solutions.
Using photos taken by my team at participating farms and project sites, I paired each image with a quote from a stakeholder featured in the film. I selected quotes that reflected each person’s work while also speaking to community members, future farmers, and salmon recovery advocates.
Displayed throughout the event, the installation celebrated the many voices shaping the floodplain. The displays continue to be used at Snohomish Conservation District events to recognize partners and support conversations about collaboration and stewardship.
