All In was the first podcast launched by LDS Living and continues to be the one that experiences exponential growth. I designed the podcast cover art and logo prior to the launch in October 2018. Over the next 5 years, I designed assets (or created templates for other designers to use) for the brand’s social media, website, email, and in-person event needs.
When a book was developed based on the podcast, I was brought on to take over the design so that it would be recognizable to the existing podcast audience. I hadn’t designed a book before, but took a crash course in InDesign and designed the cover and interior on an extremely tight production schedule.
This was one of the longest projects that I worked on at LDS Living and it was rewarding to be a part of the growth and to encourage the production and marketing teams to achieve some audacious goals.

I’ll never forget about the time someone told me that “all of Taylor Swift’s albums sound the same” because a person has never been more wrong. Every album has its own distinct vibe and strongly correlates with a different part of my life—from high school to the depths of the pandemic. And each album definitely conjures its own color palette.

This book had such a fast turn-around timeline in order to get it to the printer in time. I quickly delivered 2 concepts after hearing about the book and intended audience. The product director and authors agreed that concept 1 was the way to go. I designed about 25% of the interior pages and created parent pages and style guides for an in-house designer to work off of once the manuscript was finalized. I love how much this cover stands out on the shelves at stores and speaks to the Gen Z audience the authors were trying to reach.
Many museums have online collections of open source art that can be downloaded, shared, and remixed without restriction. The Met has over 400,000 pieces in its collection so it can take some digging, but there are so many artworks that are perfect for decorating a home.
I’ve done the digging for you. All you have to do is search the collection that’s credited below each artwork.

For a girl who always had to remember to put her name on her paper because she was constantly experimenting with new handwriting, find out that “lettering” is a thing was a pretty exciting discovery.
Roughly October–April is what I consider “puzzle season.” I have a lot of strong opinions about what makes a good puzzle (little-to-no puzzle dust, please) and now that this one is mocked up, I really need it to become a reality. Of course it’s 1000 pieces because those are the only puzzles worth doing.

Love Your Lineage is a multi-faceted, friendly, and shame-free approach to family history.
The hosts, Michelle Franzoni Thorley and Miyamoto Loretta Jensen, help us see beyond finding missing names and show us how everyone, no matter what our background or family situation, can make deep and powerful connections to our ancestors.
This podcast is centered in the BIPOC family history experience, although all are invited to listen and find and claim their space.
I either created the graphics or created templates that other designers used for all of Sunday on Monday’s social media, web, and product needs since its launch in 2019.

In another life, I like to think I’d be living out my Kathleen Kelly dreams of living in New York City and owning a book store.
Though this book store doesn’t exist, here’s a reminder to support your local book shops.
