ABOUT ME
I'm a creative director, art director, and brand strategist who believes the best creative work starts with understanding people. I bring together strategic thinking, visual storytelling, and an intuitive understanding of what motivates audiences to create brands and campaigns that connect.
My career has taken me from book design and agency life to building and leading my own creative agency and working in-house with growing organizations. Along the way, I've partnered with businesses, national brands, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits to develop brand identities, integrated campaigns, and meaningful creative experiences.
As a leader, I believe in empathy, integrity, and transparency. I've built and managed creative teams both in person and remotely, and I value collaboration, open communication, and bringing out the best in the people around me. While I enjoy developing strategy and guiding creative direction, I'm just as comfortable rolling up my sleeves and doing the work. I genuinely love the creative process, from the first big idea to the smallest design detail.
Outside of work, I'm a mom of three, a typography enthusiast, an avid podcast listener, and a fan of live music, travel, and just about anything outdoors. I also believe a little humor and makes almost everything better.
