Design is a lifelong passion for me — and I cannot imagine any other career. I love the process of design, the challenge of creating visual solutions that push boundaries and excite a client, and the opportunities I’ve had to teach, mentor, and inspire emerging designers. As the designer Paul Rand said, “Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple; that's why it is so complicated.” 

Flexible, meticulous, and attentive to deadlines and budgets, I am a creative problem solver with extensive experience working as an art director and designer in strategic communications. I thrive in environments where a commitment to creativity and quality leads to memorable — and effective — results across print and digital platforms.
