My career has offered me a breadth of experience within the advertising industry including leading creative teams, designing for both print and web, copywriting, broadcast and online video, photo and video shoot direction, illustration, front-end development and project management. I've operated my own design shop and have worked at a large agency, small agencies and a globally-recognized corporation.

Through it all, I have learned that a marketing campaign will only find success if it is grounded with a solid strategy; the strategy will only take flight if supported by a bold creative idea; and that a great idea will only reach its potential if it is finely crafted.

What I Bring To the Table

 

Creative Leadership

Providing inspiration and guidance. Collaborating. Supporting. Applauding. Having fun. Because a happy team is a successful team.

Strategic Thinking

Beautiful work that’s not on strategy is just art. I dig in, ask questions, and really get to understand the problem, creating work that really moves the needle.

 

Broad Experience

At different points of my career I’ve focused on print design and production, digital advertising, social media, website design, online & broadcast video, CRM and more.

Attention To Detail

From thinking through every detail of the user journey, to crafting pixel-perfect layouts, I give projects the time and attention needed to make them the best they can be.
