I'm Tessa, a designer and illustrator based in Denver, Colorado. On weekdays you’ll find me hammering away at my laptop with my cat asleep in my lap, and on weekends you’ll find me prancing in the mountains without a screen in sight!

I currently lead brand and creative at Mitratech, where I manage everything from campaign strategy to visual systems. My BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida gave me the foundation, but ten years of industry work gave me the instincts.

I believe that good design solves a problem. That means understanding what people actually need (which is not always what they think they need!) before opening Illustrator. Great communication makes for great outcomes.
