about libby
Thank you for taking the time to view my work and get to know me! I was born and raised in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, just north of Detroit, where my passion for media and communication began at a young age. In middle school, I created videos and proudly shared them with classmates, even being featured on our daily school news. These early experiences sparked my love for connecting with others through storytelling and laid the foundation for my strong communication skills.
Throughout my life, I’ve actively sought leadership roles that have helped me develop a strong ability to organize, inspire, and collaborate. From leading charity presentations at leadership conferences in Grand Rapids to organizing annual races within my city, to serving as vice president of my college sorority, I’ve consistently focused on bringing people together and driving initiatives that achieve shared goals.
While communication and leadership became central to my path, I never let go of my creative roots. Pursuing dual degrees in digital art and communications, I aimed to build a career where my skills in media, design, and strategy could intertwine, enabling me to craft narratives that inspire and engage.
