During my 20+ years in the creative field, I’ve developed a diverse skillset that includes everything from layout, illustration, and packaging to video production and interactive design. I look at everything I do through the lens of real-world business impact. By focusing on effective design over short-sighted trends, I’ve helped a wide range of local and national clients effectively visualize and promote their brands.
I am highly proficient in all industry standard design software, including Adobe Creative Suite and interactive software such as Sketch and Figma. I am adept at leading creative teams and projects, including writing briefs, developing concepts, and managing tasks and schedules.
