Hello!
I’m Tara (like Tara Reid or Lipinski), a creative leader with over 10 years of experience bringing products and brands to life. I’ve designed and overseen everything from Iron Maiden coolers to a Sanrio penny press machine. I love finding the balance between big-picture creative direction and hands-on design. Along the way, I’ve helped shape brand presence across packaging, e-commerce, and marketing campaigns, all while keeping the process fun, fresh, and collaborative.
What makes me stand out from other freelancers is that I’ve spent years on the hiring side, so I know firsthand what makes a great partner. Clear communication, upfront pricing, and frequent updates come standard when you work with me. I’m also skilled at diving into any fandom and creating designs that truly resonate with super fans. While I enjoy working across all brands and product types, my speciality is cute and quirky.
When I’m not designing, you can find me exploring Seattle with my husband and our dog (the cat, unfortunately, has to stay home).
TLDR;
I’m experienced, great to work with and want to help bring your creative vision to life!
