I've always been the "artsy girl". Ever since I could hold a pencil I've loved to draw, so naturally a career path oriented towards design and illustration seemed right for me. I began as a fine artist but fell in love with design upon entry to The University of Georgia where I earned my BFA. After graduation I spent a year working as a designer and illustrator for an advertising agency in Columbia, SC. When I started looking for a permanent position I made a list of agencies whose work caught my interest. birdsong gregory was up at the top of that list. Joining a team of forward thinkers and brilliant designers made an exciting move to Charlotte that much more compelling. 

My philosophy as a designer is this: design is art. To me this means that creative thought, craftsmanship, and good looking design / aesthetics are all equal parts of the equation. Design is not just about being able to use the software; designers are artists. Here at birdsong gregory, our work reflects this philosophy because we care about the details. To see our work and learn more about our process, you can visit the birdsong gregory website, or stop by our office next time you're in downtown Charlotte. We're pretty awesome.

Final information to leave you with: In addition to my love affair with art, design, and illustration, I enjoy running. I also like treasure hunting in antique stores, vintage design and typography, barbecue chicken nachos, and of course, UGA football. Don't hate.
