Creative Leader &
Award Winning Design
I am a professional creative thinker for major brands and corporations.
I am an award-winning design leader with 12 years of industry experience. I specialize in Brand Design, Creative Strategy, and Creative Mentorship. I have a people-first management style, and I’ve managed both intern and external partner teams. Over my career, I have held the following roles:
Design Manager - People and process. Lead and grow the design team, manage workflows, and ensure design execution aligns with product and business strategy. Less about hands-on conceptual creation, more about enabling designers to do their best work.
Demonstrated on projects: Gatorade Mashups, DJ Kahled, Electric Flash
Creative Director - Vision and brand narrative. I set the overarching creative vision across channels, aligning creative output with brand identity and long-term strategy. I guide multiple disciplines such as design, copy, film, etc.
Demonstrated on projects: Fast Twitch VIS, Fast Twitch TV Commercials, Fast Twitch Super Bowl Product Launch, Fast Twitch WNBA Limited Edition Label
Art Director - Visual direction. Oversee the aesthetic execution of campaigns or projects, ensuring visual consistency and quality. Often hands-on in developing style guides, layouts, and creative assets.
Demonstrated on projects: Muscle Milk Plant, Serena Williams Retirement Campaign, Roger Federer Retirement Campaign, Triniti Tennis Ball Subline Brand
When I’m not working with corporate clients:
I volunteer with my local AIGA chapter often as a teacher and mentor.
I am actively engaged with my online presence to foster out-of-the-box thinking and stay up-to-date with industry and observational truths.
I bring my creativity to work because I care deeply about our human experience as we solve business problems. This philosophy has enabled me to add millions of dollars of value to my cross-functional projects as demonstrated by my awards and nominations.
If I am on the brand - it will be done thoughtfully, and it will be done right.
