I have over 20 years of experience spanning design, brand strategy, fine arts, marketing, arts education and entrepreneurship. My career began in design agency settings, where I worked with a wide range of clients—from small startups to established corporations—across retail, B2B, and B2C sectors within all communication touch points, from print to digital. In addition to design agency work, I founded two art education businesses including a process art studio that fostered creative thinking through hands-on arts exploration. In my current role as Director of Design & Marketing for an arts nonprofit in Ohio, I lead all aspects of our visual communications, managing everything from concept to execution. I develop marketing materials and content for art education programs, promotional materials including print ads, digital ads, exhibition and event materials, as well as our website. I ensure that every communication aligns with our mission. I’m currently seeking part-time, project-based freelance opportunities. I bring a collaborative spirit, and deep understanding of design principles.
