About:
Specializing in brand systems design and conceptual art direction, I excel at bringing great ideas forward in creative teams. For a decade and counting, I've worked on and led projects for clients of all sizes and in a wide range of industries; meticulous attention to detail and an intense sense of curiosity are what they all have in common.
My practice balances creative leadership and hands-on design. Through both, I've nurtured an ability to iterate and reinvent the work and the process; but also the instincts to move decisively. I thrive in environments that value trust, craft, optimism and the bravery to explore bold new ideas.
When I'm not behind the screen (or lens) you'll probably find me trying to get far away from them; out on a hike, running around with my dogs, or camped out in the kitchen working on an all-day culinary project.
Specializing in concept-based and strategic branding, I excel at bringing great ideas forward in design teams. In my 10-year career, I've worked on projects for clients of all sizes and in a huge range of industries; meticulous attention to detail and an intense sense of curiosity are what they all have in common.
Through these experiences, I've refined my creative process efficiently and with proven results. I'm particularly passionate about helping small businesses find their niche, and I thrive in environments where craft, optimism and the bravery to explore what's new are valued above all.
