hello my name is abby

Growing up, I was immersed in the world of small business. From witnessing my mother's entrepreneurial endeavors to volunteering and working with organizations and families all over our community, I gained invaluable experience and appreciation for the unique challenges and opportunities that come with running a successful business. Combined with my bachelor's degree from Washington State University and over 5 years of professional experience working with small to mid-sized companies, I've developed a keen eye for creating designs that are both functional and visually stunning.
As a graphic designer, I take pride in listening closely to my clients' needs and delivering designs that exceed their expectations. Whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your business, I'm here to help you succeed.
Don't hesitate to reach out to Anna and me via email to discuss your project, or browse my portfolio for a glimpse into some of my favorite designs. I look forward to hearing from you!
