Hi! Thanks for visiting my website!

I sell wildlife/landscape stickers in bulk to businesses who like to step up their love-for-local vibe––see my stickers in Valles Caldera National Preserve Gift Shop, the PEEC Nature Center in Los Alamos, Brotique505 (Tin Can Alley Albuquerque) and REI Santa Fe (pictured above)! Find my stickers there (or shop all my designs on any product at my print-on-demand store), or if you’re a business, and would like to purchases B2B bulk–please call 505.412.9094.

I grew up in Northern New Mexico and am so inspired by nature. I love wildlife, and vast landscapes.  All of this reflects in my work, especially in my signature New Mexico scenes silhouetted by various New Mexico wildlife. In addition to that, I have several other designs that are inspired by atomic history (very New Mexico), nerd-life, and pickle ball culture. I like to make up catchy phrases like “Squirrels just wanna have fun” (one my Abert’s Squirrel design) and “Party like a smarty” (on an Oppenheimer design). I hope you enjoy checking them out!

Sending you cheers, chile, and love from the mesa tops!

Brenda holds a Masters of Science in graphic information technology. She has been art directing the National Security Science magazine at Los Alamos National Laboratory since 2018 and host the National Security Science podcast. She graduated as a Presidential Associates Honors Scholar from New Mexico State University with a bachelors in foreign languages after living abroad in France, Spain, and Mexico. Travel, language, studying different cultures, and a life long love for art led to a passion in design and eventually studying digital media arts. She worked as an inhourse designer, and started her graphic design business shortly after. She has applied her skills to a variety of projects including branding, publication design, scientific illustration, campaigns, and exhibit design. Brenda lives in Northern New Mexico with my husband, three kids and my lazy Ridgeback dog.
