“I develop, plan, tinker, organize and learn, but my official title is a designer at Godfrey in downtown Lancaster. In my position, my daily assignments range from traditional print ads to website development and everything in between. Outside of the office, my work with Ladies, Technically Speaking allows me to continue exploring my desire to learn, lead and ignite that aspiration in others. When I’m not knee-deep in all things design, I enjoy taking in all that downtown Lancaster has to offer and of course, spending time with my two cats.”
