Your creative partner for design, photography, and illustration.
173b Media is a creative studio dedicated to helping people tell their stories visually through design, photography, and illustration.
I spent 20 years shaping a brand for one of the country’s largest counties, learning how to stretch creativity (and budgets) to make a big impact. I launched this studio to give you big-agency creativity without the big-agency price tag. As a Northwest native, I add a little local flavor and a lot of heart (and humor) to everything I do.

THREE WAYS TO TELL a STORY.
Design
The Space Between Us
Explore artwork that captures the subtle connections and meaningful gaps that define the human experience.
Thoughtful graphic design that brings your brand to life across print and digital. My goal is to make every element work together so the message feels simple, direct, and visually strong.
Illustration
I use illustration to add character, clarity, and a little charm to a project. It is a flexible way to bring ideas to life in a style that feels expressive and uniquely tailored.
Photography
I capture images that feel natural, honest, and full of personality. Whether it’s people, places, or small details, I aim to show each moment in a clear and meaningful way.
