About

Creative digital designer and email developer with 25 years of experience designing and building responsive digital experiences—websites, microsites, CRM email campaigns, templates, banners, and brand visuals. I’m detail-obsessed (every pixel matters) and I enjoy taking ideas from concept to completion, collaborating closely with designers, developers, content editors, copywriters, and marketers to deliver polished outcomes.

I also bring strong leadership experience, having guided small teams of designers and front-end developers and supported junior and mid-weight colleagues through training and clear guidelines. I hold a master’s degree in Digital Design, and I’m especially comfortable in fast-paced environments—meeting clients to understand needs, managing projects effectively, and continuously improving my skills across modern email platforms and front-end technologies.
