About

Innovative creative leadership. Exceptional hands-on skills.

With an award-winning background in branded marketing communications, I design, write, innovate, and inspire, leading creative teams to award-winning work that tells engaging stories and connects brands to customers. I collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders at all levels, and develop management solutions that maximize productivity and foster a culture of creative excellence.

A Certified In-House Design Manager and Agile Scrum Master, I’ve led creative teams to strategic success and over 20 design awards through mentorship, empowerment, hands-on execution, and proven expertise in brand identity, multichannel marketing campaigns, packaging, video, catalog, presentation, environmental graphics, and more.
