Working in graphic design since 1995—and photography since 2001—Kippy is passionate about all things visually creative. With a secondary degree in communication, she is almost always ready to talk about that passion (whether you want to hear about it or not).

Taking the helm of the Nevada Photographers Facebook group in 2016 allowed her to help showcase talented photographers, offering them increased opportunities to shine a visual spotlight on the Silver State. As she has organized and moderated FOCUS events, photographers have come together, forming long-lasting friendships and partnerships. This year’s event adds the chance to bring together Nevada’s DMOs and the photographers who love this state, in a more meaningful and mutually beneficial manner.

As Travel Nevada’s Creative Manager and Nevada Magazine & Visitor Guide’s Art Director she happy to help these partnerships form and grow.
