About

I’m a creative director and multidisciplinary designer with 20+ years of experience leading brand and design work across print, packaging, retail/POP, trade shows, publishing, and digital content for clients in the U.S. and Europe. I partner closely with marketing and sales teams to build packaging, in-store materials, and integrated creative that stays consistent while still feeling locally relevant.

Across my career, I’ve led creative teams and managed complex projects from concept through production—balancing creative goals, production requirements, timelines, and regulatory needs. Currently, I’m helping European markets with brand and packaging localization, standardized product and sales assets, and market-ready creative deliverables, while previously serving as President & Principal Designer and leading design strategy at McGraw-Hill Higher Education.
