A Little About Me

I am a designer, painter, letterer, and illustrator who has been in the industry since 2004. My work has been recognized throughout various mediums such as contests, the radio, Time Magazine, local news outlets, The Doctors TV Show, and Oprah’s O Magazine, “Favorite Things” edition.

The art I create is a combination of classy and clean aesthetics. I enjoy taking something broken and making it work & look better than it was before. I always enjoy a new challenge and I love what I do.

When I’m not working or doing art, I enjoy a variety of things such as traveling, working out, going to concerts, toy photography, baking, swimming, roller skating (I used to play roller derby), watching shows, and listening to music. I currently live in South Jordan, Utah with my husband and our two cats, Miles + Mimi.

Personality

According to Myers-Briggs, and the 16 personalities personality test, I am an INFJ, aka “The Advocate” (Spot ON!)

 

Creative

Advocate personalities enjoy finding the perfect solution for the people they care about. To do this, they draw on their vivid imagination and their strong sense of compassion. This can make them excellent counselors and advisors.

 

INSIGHTFUL

Advocates typically strive to move past appearances and get to the heart of things. This can give them an almost uncanny ability to understand people’s true motivations, feelings, and needs.

 

PRINCIPLED

People with the Advocate personality type tend to have deeply held beliefs, and their conviction often shines through when they speak or write about subjects that matter to them. Advocates can be compelling and inspiring communicators, with their idealism persuading even the hardest of skeptics.

 

PASSIONATE

Advocates can pursue their ideals with a single-mindedness that may catch others off guard. These personalities rarely settle for “good enough,” and their willingness to disrupt the status quo may not please everyone. That said, Advocates’ passion for their chosen cause is a key aspect of their personality.

 

ALTRUISTIC

Advocates generally aim to use their strengths for the greater good – they rarely enjoy succeeding at other people’s expense. They tend to think about how their actions affect others, and their goal is to behave in a way that will help the people around them and make the world a better place.

 
“INFJs’ nonstop search for learning, self-growth, and development—and wishing the same for everyone else—makes them very reassuring to others and people worth emulating.”
— Otto Kroeger, Type Talk at Work

STRENGTHS AND MOTIVATIONS

According to the CliftonStrengths assessment, here are a few of my strengths:

 

EMPATHY

People exceptionally talented in the Empathy theme can sense other people’s feelings by imagining themselves in others’ lives or situations.

 

INDIVIDUAL-IZATION

People exceptionally talented in the Relator theme enjoy close relationships with others. They find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends to achieve a goal.

 
“Empathy is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connections, and communicating that incredibly healing message of you’re not alone.”
— Brené Brown
