Who is Cirque to Peak?

Wonder-filled; adventure-seeking; inspired by joy. 

My creative spirit has been nurtured by the various landscapes and wildlife throughout my life.

From the deserts of Saudi Arabia, through the forests of the Pacific Northwest, to the awe-inspiring mountainous terrain of southwest Montana. Each unique environment, with its respective diversity in landscape, wildlife, and culture, sparked curiosity and exploration within me, fueling my artistic journey.

Pursue life creatively.

Create designs that inspire and engage one’s story.

A degree in psychology led me to work as a case manager in disability services. I found a deep sense of joy when I was able to encourage individuals to envision and live out their aspirations while navigating the challenges of state and federal support services. This work emphasized the power of visualizing stories and ideas, for anyone. I realized through this work, that my path was to turn in a different direction to better explore my creative and imaginative skillset.

I then furthered my education by earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Savannah College of Art & Design. The education I received through SCAD constructed a foundational knowledge of composition, design, and process. It gave me the tools I needed to carve my way into the design world; to start building stories through branding and design.

My aspiration is to perpetually embrace a journey of learning and growth.

Building on my academic foundation, I've worked within a local design studio and have forged strong connections within my community by supporting a diverse array of businesses and organizations. Additionally, my partnerships with local print media have allowed me to bring various narratives to life through visual illustrations. In every facet of my creative pursuits, I strive to enlighten and empower my client's objectives, as well as rekindle society's passion for storytelling through visual expressions.

When I’m not immersed in a design project, you can find me outside in all seasons - skiing, mountain biking, trail running, and hiking. With pup in tow.
