I’m thrilled to share that I recently had the opportunity to attend the American Advertising Awards, where one of my graphic design pieces was nominated for a student AAF award! My poster series, The Price of Femininity, received Gold in the Guerrilla Marketing, Installation, and Events category. A huge thank you to AAF Toledo and jenn stucker, AIGA DL / RGD for the nomination and support! I'm incredibly grateful for this recognition and excited for what’s next.

This year's Spark Summit was the place to be! So many insightful topics were shared and the turnout was incredible. Thanks to all of our presenters, vendors, volunteers, AAF Toledo members and everyone that attended, and especially Owens Community College for collaborating with us on this powerful conference! #sparksummit #aaftoledo #artcareers

I love speakers who give real + tactical advice. Today, my girl, Riley Runnells broke down the concept of a Personal Board of Directors—people you choose, trust, and actually enjoy, so their advice matters. She also shared how to spot your type of imposter syndrome and gave actionable ways to start each day with happiness. Great event, AAF Toledo!
