When we bring energy, intention, and creativity to the table with
intelligence and empathy, we make a space for others to connect.

As a committed design educator, t.jungle enjoys sharing a wealth of experience in brand design and development with students who are enthusiastic about things like the balance of space in a logo.
As a brand consultant and designer, she has helped clients with understanding their business models, developing logos, naming, tagline design, and brand standards. She has done art direction and writing/editing for a wide variety of small to mid-sized businesses as well as personalities, entrepreneurs, and corporations. She most recently created a brand design for Harmonist Sanctuary in Denver, does brand consulting for Pittsburgh’s Smallest Show in Town, and pro bono design work for The Pittsburgh Buddhist Center.
She is passionate about the narrative capacity of brands and is also a storyteller in her own right—with a graphic novel, Chicken: A Comic Cat Memoir published in 2016, winning Bronze in the 2017 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards and double Gold for Best Children’s and Pet Nonfiction in the 2016 Global E-book Awards. Chicken can also be found at Carnegie Libraries.
Other personal work includes design merchandising—with products available in museum shops. In 2019 she was Featured Artist of The Mattress Factory shop, donating proceeds from work sold to the Women and Children’s Center of Greater Pittsburgh.
