I'm a visual designer and professional storyteller with two decades of experience slinging pixels and paper in the name of brand development and strategic communictions.

I spend my working hours partnering with clients to better engage their audiences and admirers. We have a lot of fun in the process because I believe creating content should be as enjoyable as consuming it. I decided long ago to use my talents to support the greater good, so I've spent much of my career communicating in support of non-profits and universities.

Working in higher ed also allowed me to live out a lifelong teaching dream. Helping students gain confidence in their creative vision and learn the skills to bring it to life has been one of my greatest professional joys. What a privilege to call this "work."

"After a long, rough history with Graphic Design, I finally had the pleasure of taking a class from Cecily, which cast a new light on the subject because of how well she assembled and delivered the coursework. I felt she maintained a fantastic atmosphere that encouraged constructive criticism, and even made it enjoyable. Super personable, and knows her stuff!"
