| Passions: |
Invigorating hikes, CU Buffs’ football, homegrown tomatoes, and Saturday morning pancake cook-offs with my husband and three kids. |
| Peeves: |
Unmade beds, recyclable cans in the trash, computer crashes and reporters who never answer their phones.
|
| Nighttime reading: |
Any historical novel that transports me to another era, as well as really good children’s literature like Watership Down or Harry Potter.
|
| Client nirvana: |
“I love collaborating with a client. We can work closely together to develop an idea that’s both attention-getting and true to the brand.”
