Welcome!
​👋 I'm Bethany, a senior graphic designer with 10+ years of experience turning ideas into visuals that connect. I've designed a lot in my time—from direct mail to email campaigns, social media, websites, tradeshow booths, and even textiles (round beach towels had a moment).
What ties my skillset all together is my passion for the customer experience. Good design isn't just pixel-perfect alignment and picking the prettiest typeface. It's about conscious choices and designs that ultimately speak to, and are accessible to, the right audience. It’s about constantly learning and improving to do the most good—for my clients, my colleagues, and my community.

I've spent most of my time in the higher education and technology industries, but I dabble in brand and some website work on the side. In my quest to keep learning, I'm slowly working on advancing my motion graphics skills. Head on over to check out my portfolio if you haven't already!
On a personal note...
It's nice to step away from the computer and work with my hands. I rediscovered a passion for sewing during the lockdown and have kept it up since. I transitioned from sewing hundreds of masks to now bags and wallets, and am venturing into some apparel (I tried doll clothes first. Harder than you'd think!). Hunting for the right fabric and pattern and watching things come to life in my hands is really rewarding. I enjoy sewing things for other people more than myself most of the time.

I live in Eastern Iowa with my husband, two miniature schnauzers, and three cats.
