About

I’m a senior design leader and creative professional with 15+ years of experience across art direction, brand identity, campaign development, and hands-on graphic design. I translate briefs into focused, high-impact work, combining strong layout/typography craft with reliable production across digital and print.

I’ve led design from initial concept through final delivery, partnering confidently with clients and cross-functional teams—whether remotely or in person. I also mentor junior designers, strengthen creative quality and consistency through reviews and practical guidance, and manage priorities, handoffs, and delivery so campaigns land on time and stay on brand.
