I am a creative and design leader with decades of experience directing the creative for digital and print solutions across large organizations in healthcare, corporate, and cultural sectors. I’ve built and mentored multidisciplinary teams, collaborated with external agencies, and delivered editorial, video, and social content for B2B and B2C audiences. In 2022 and 2023 I supported 162 different customers within Aetna’s national accounts, guiding brand storytelling across multiple lines—from Commercial to Medicare, Care Engagement, and Vision, Dental, and Voluntary. I love hands-on design work and multimedia storytelling, and I’m passionate about mentoring teams, refining processes, and creating consistent, accessible communications. I’ve also volunteered and worked on documentary and exhibition branding projects for major museums, and I continue to pursue opportunities that combine design excellence with human-centered storytelling.
