I’m 31, a college graduate, music lover, and girl with glasses. I also like working out, traveling, fashion, large bodies of water, summer, shopping, and office supplies. I’m an only child, and I’ve worked in marketing, graphic design, retail, tech, and administration – almost entirely in the music industry. I have asthma and just a touch of panic disorder. After two years in Virginia and Nashville each, I now live in The Windy City with my BFF!

I’m from the Mitten – and on more than one occasion, I’ve been high-fived when trying to demonstrate where I call home. I absolutely adore Michigan and the midwest, even though I don’t live there right now. In addition to graphic design, I also love scrapbooking and paper crafts, knitting, and photography. I love organizing and listening to the same songs on repeat for hours. (Want to see what I’m digging lately? Follow me on Spotify!) When the world ends, I’ll be watching old episodes of ER or Dog the Bounty Hunter – I love TV, and have some of the guiltiest pleasures.
