When I was a kid, if someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always responded: “I want to be an artist.” My love of art eventually grew into a passion for design, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work in an amazing industry, doing a job that I truly enjoy. From corporate creative teams to agency teams to several years of freelancing, I’ve learned from it all and I’ve loved being a part of it all. Finding a story and a strategic creative approach that engages people and meets their needs, then designing that work from concept to completion is what I do best.
Strengths that I've sharpened along the way:
• Creating brand identities, digital and print ads, direct mail, out-of-home, radio, and omnichannel campaigns
• Leading and collaborating with digital teams and UX designers to create digital ads, animation, and web sites
• Directing photo shoots: location, studio, talent, room sets, packaging, soft/hard goods
• Mentoring art directors and designers
• Managing client relationships including presenting creative work
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite
