Hi There! I'm Mallory. 

I’m a creative spirit at heart with a relentless ambition to make the world more beautiful. I love traveling, fantastic books and wandering for hours around art museums. I have a Midwestern-born girl's appreciation of a good thunderstorm. And I'm driven by the belief that great work comes from getting my hands dirty (or glittery or inky or dusty).

I spent four years in the journalism school at the University of Missouri where I found my way to graphic design and art direction. After earning my master's degree from Mizzou in 2017, I bought a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia to see a little bit more of the world before diving into a career in art direction. I documented my travels on my blog, Routine is Lethal. 

Currently, I’m working as an art director in St. Louis, Missouri.
