About

I’m an independent graphic designer and consultant with 25+ years of experience across brand, packaging, and marketing design for print and digital. From concept through production, I build production-ready creative—thinking carefully about design accuracy, consistency, and the details that make work ready for real-world launch.

I’ve led creative for high-SKU product lines, developed packaging systems for retail and e-commerce, and directed photo/video shoots end-to-end. I also incorporate AI-assisted tools to streamline ideation and creative workflows while keeping high design standards, so teams can move faster without sacrificing quality.
