I went to school for fine art and design, then spent the early part of my career on the art direction track, then moved over to focus on my craft as a designer. I found myself in a hybrid role as a Creative Director partnering to build businesses and brands from scratch, after which I led a department of Designers as Head of Design. Next took on Executive Creative Director / Head of Design role, overseeing and working within a creative department across various brand creative needs.
I’m passionate about all things brand creative.
