It’s nice to meet you.
As a creative director and designer, I provide the vision, leadership and hands-on execution of visual identity and branding for mission-driven organizations.
Working at agencies in Boston, Denver, Phoenix and Santa Monica provided invaluable know-how. Along the way, I built an award-winning portfolio attributed to thought-provoking work, intelligent clients and talented colleagues. The projects on this site were created in partnership with the client, and in some instances additional collaborators (writers, designers, producers or web developers) provided their expertise.
I think it’s been my destiny to become a designer since I was 4-years old and a camp counselor noted that although I was shy, I’d made friends and excelled at arts & crafts and playground activities.
When I’m not designing I like to practice collage, book art, knitting, embroidery and yoga. I love eating plain m&m’s (any time of day) and drinking iced coffee year round, even when it’s wicked cold out.
