About

I am a seasoned creative director and designer with 19 years experience and a passion for developing and fueling brands across all of their traditional and digital touch points. I’m particular about pixels, strategic about concepting, and an organizational leader that helps teams rise to every challenge. While developing creative work, I begin with a plan and apply my expertise in managing marketing budgets, creating assets, and coordinating with directors, agencies, and external production. When I roll up my sleeves, some of the tools I use include Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Midjourney, and more. I am experienced in managing teams of designers to use these tools to multiply and develop materials across branded assets and campaigns.
