Work Portfolio

Designer by trade and storyteller at heart

With over twenty years of experience in creative strategy and execution, my career has focused on innovative digital and experiential design for a wide variety of brands and clients. I have holistic knowledge in art directing photography and video from early concepts through final production and marketing execution. I'm passionate about sincere story telling through beautiful images, curated content and meticulous typography.

I've had the fortunate experience to grow, inspire and mentor diverse sets of collaborative design teams by leading with intrinsic empathy and logic, and take pride in my ability to build an inclusive workflow and empowered workforce.
