Summary
Hey there, I’m Bonnie
I’m an ever-bubbly, detail-oriented problem-solver with a passion for making your brand shine. Think of me as your design partner in crime, here to help you connect with your target market and win new business through creative branding and bid design that stands out.
I love working with brands that trust me to run with their ideas (I’m a great runner—as long as it’s not on actual pavement!), are open to fresh, out-of-the-box concepts (I have plenty!), and enjoy pushing the boundaries to think differently. My focus is on creating designs that blend creative flair with strategic thinking to deliver results, whether it’s an unforgettable brand identity or a visually engaging bid that captivates decision-makers.
From layout and typography to strategic visual storytelling, I craft proposals that are clear, compelling, and aligned with your brand, helping you communicate confidently and stand out from the competition.
