Hi, I'm Drea!

Graphic designer. Ice cream enthusiast.

Born and raised in Columbus OH, I have always loved the creative community and all it has to offer. I spent much of my younger years in museums and art classes, and then eventually studied Graphic Design and Sociology at Bowling Green State University—and studied abroad in one of the most art-inspired cities, Florence, Italy! After graduating in 2014, I decided a change of scenery was in order and relocated to Denver, CO. It was an amazing 3 years spent exploring the mountains and getting some much-needed real world experiences. My first out-of-college design opportunities were so much more than I could have hoped for—I learned a lot during those years and met amazing people and mentors. But like many Ohioans, I just couldn’t stay away from the Heart of It All!

Being back in Columbus has allowed me to really practice my skills, make new connections, and take steps in advancing my career. With 6 years of design experience, I enjoy looking for ways to merge my interests and inspirations which stem from beautiful typography, color, and everyday surroundings and interactions.

In my spare time, you can find me snacking on ice cream, making plans for a new adventure, and hanging out with Martini and Jameson, the two best dachshunds around!

I’d love to work with you!
