It’s nice to meet you.
As a creative director and designer, I blend instinct with strategy to guide the vision, leadership and hands-on execution of high-impact visual communications. By learning what matters to clients, I interpret the essence of each project and align design decisions with larger business goals. My diverse career experience has shaped an award-winning portfolio; I am inspired by meaningful work and learning new ways of thinking through collaboration with colleagues, clients, managers and those I have mentored.
Becoming a designer was my destiny. When I was 4-years old a camp counselor noted that although I was quiet, I’d made friends and excelled at arts & crafts and playground activities.
I also 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.
