About

As a seasoned designer and art director with ten plus years of experience, I’ve spent my professional career using visual storytelling to creatively solve problems, elevate brands, and connect with audiences.

My most recent position was as a Senior Brand Designer for a B2B SaaS start up. As the first marketing designer there, I had the chance to build and scale their visual brand identity from the ground up. I also led all design projects from concept to completion including digital and print advertising, social media, email, motion graphics, web design, presentations, and business development materials.

Prior to that, I was the Creative Manager and Graphic Designer for a national nonprofit. I evolved their visual identity, redesigned their website, and helped launch a national brand campaign.

I started out as an Art Director at a creative advertising agency where I translated strategic briefs into impactful ideas. In addition to concepting and designing multi-channel campaigns, I collaborated with photographers, directors, video editors, and developers to deliver high-quality photography, video, and web assets.
In each role, I’ve gotten to experience the strategic effect that brand building can have on business goals while also carrying out hands-on production design work. I’m confident that I can put my skills to use to help drive results for your brand, and I’d love the opportunity to talk more about what kind of impact I can make.
