About Me

Hi, I'm Becca, a recovering graphic designer. What does that mean? I'll explain.

I've been an art nerd my whole life, filling sketchbooks, making stop-motion videos as a kid, and spending hours designing houses on The Sims. Creating has always been second nature to me.

In college, I studied fine art and fell in love with exploring different mediums. My hands were always busy, and my mind finally had space to wander. I worked in everything from drawing and printmaking to sculpture and design. But like a lot of artists, I was told it wasn't "practical", so I pivoted into graphic design.

That shift led me to typography and lettering, which I still love. I enjoyed building brands, drawing custom letterforms, and pairing them with color and pattern. After graduating, I built a steady stream of freelance clients, even after moving to a small rural town where creative jobs were hard to come by.

But over time, the work started to feel repetitive. Everything lived on a screen. I missed making things I could actually hold. The kind of work that felt meaningful to create.

Then I became a mom, and that changed everything.

I realized I didn't want to just make a living. I wanted to build a creative life my kids could see and feel. One that was rooted in curiosity, play, and actually enjoying the process.

So I stepped away from the version of design that drained me, and came back to making.

Now, I'm rebuilding as an artist, maker, and designer, exploring materials, creating by hand, and following what genuinely sparks my interest. I teach workshops, host craft parties, and create handmade pieces meant to be used, shared, and enjoyed in real life.

And yes, I still take on graphic design projects, but more intentionally now. The kind of projects that feel aligned, collaborative, and creatively fulfilling.

Because at the end of the day, I believe that in an increasingly digital and AI world, there is something deeply grounding and human about making things with your hands, and more people deserve the space (and permission) to do it.
