Church & Diocesan Service
Creative ministry in the wild: buildings, bulletins, and the Body of Christ.My service to the church has never been confined to the pew. It stretches across the sanctuary, the screen, the studio, and the sidewalk — designing a stewardship campaign, singing in the choir, fixing a broken handrail, leading a prayer group. Whether I'm building a brand or a compost bin, it's all part of the same call: to nurture the church as a place of beauty, justice, and belonging.
Parish Life at Christ Church in Short Hills
2017–present
I sing in the choir, serve as a lay reader, and co-lead a weekly prayer group that has become a vital part of my spiritual rhythm. I've twice been elected to the vestry and currently chair the Buildings & Grounds Committee. Over the years I've written and designed Lenten devotionals, spoken during stewardship campaigns, and helped plan our 140th anniversary celebration. In 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, I received Polly Bond Awards from Episcopal Communicators for my work in church communications.
Work with the Episcopal Diocese of Newark
2017–present
Since 2020 I've been the lead branding designer for the Diocese's annual convention. Before that I served on the Tech & Communications Committee, consulted with congregations including Trinity & St. Philip's Cathedral, St. Mary's Sparta, and St. John's Montclair on web and visual identity, and developed stewardship campaigns for parishes including St. Peter's Mountain Lakes. I've also led creative workshops for diocesan youth gatherings and the Crossroads counselors.
Stoneroller Cooperative
stonerollercoop.com
Stoneroller is my design studio — built to serve organizations that do the work on the ground. Churches, schools, nonprofits, and mission-driven teams come to us when they need brand systems, campaigns, and communications that are clear, beautiful, and honest about what they stand for. Based in Maplewood, NJ, serving clients nationwide.
SNAP Resource Flyer Generator
Stoneroller Cooperative
When federal SNAP benefits were suspended during the government shutdown, faith communities needed to respond fast. Stoneroller built a free bilingual tool — English and Spanish — that lets any congregation or community organization generate a customized, print-ready PDF flyer in minutes, populated with state-specific food bank contacts, EBT balance information, and 211 referrals. Small churches with no design staff can produce professional materials immediately. Available at foodassistdoc.netlify.app.
Everloving Pride
everlovingpride.com
A toolkit for congregations that want to communicate genuine welcome to LGBTQIA+ people — not just during Pride Month, but as a daily practice. There is a difference between being privately affirming and being visibly present. Hanging a banner in June is a beginning. Becoming the kind of community where queer people actually make a home is the work. This site exists to help churches close that gap, with honest strategy, practical tools, articles, and language rooted in scripture and lived experience. Includes the Welcome Widget, which gives congregations a curated library of messages at three levels of boldness, with their own branding and a pride flag of their choosing. A project of Stoneroller Cooperative, currently in its 2026 pilot year.
Creative Pilgrimage
essays, poems, and podcast
I am a postulant in the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, attending Bexley Seabury Seminary. I am also a gardener, a sign painter, a mother, an artist, and a wife. The Creative Pilgrimage is where I write about all of it — essays, poems, and a podcast, rooted in the church calendar and the honest record of a ministry being built in real time. The rest I figure out as I go.
Parish Collaborations
Beyond New Jersey, I've worked with churches including St. Martin's in Houston and St. Mark's in New Canaan on stewardship campaigns and Holy Week event series. Each project is built on creative listening and a shared desire to help congregations communicate their mission more clearly
