Biography
With expertise in the areas of branding, publication, advertising, and a plethora of other design specialties, my passion for design continues to lead me down the most inspiring pathways.
Formerly the Co-Owner, Designer & Brand Strategist for Rinse Design, I have developed branding projects in the areas of organic foods, sustainable financing, community foundations and organizations, environmental groups, fine art, architecture, and entrepreneurship.
In 2015, I co-founded, branded, and launched The Design Corps of Santa Fe to promote the role of leading visual communication professionals in Santa Fe — and the value of design as a catalyst for change.
Over the last decade I’ve become passionate about genealogy, having researched my own ancestral history leading me to the 16th century and beyond. This journey inspired me to launch Akin in 2022, a design studio that commemorates family stories and ancestry.
