I'm a creative leader with 9+ years of experience specializing in brand strategy, creative direction, and design - from event and environmental experiences to digital campaigns, design systems, and brand identity - for national Fortune 500 clients. I lead with both strategic vision and hands-on craft - equally comfortable presenting creative strategy to a C-suite as I am directing on-site production at a live event.

I set the creative standard, develop the design system, and mentor the team - while staying close enough to the work to give feedback that sharpens it with fewer rounds of revisions. I've built and scaled creative departments, introduced workflow systems that reduce friction, and coached designers at every level to do their best work.

I believe AI belongs in the creative process - not as a shortcut, but as a force multiplier. I integrate tools like Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot into ideation and production workflows, coach teams on responsible AI adoption and prompt craft, and build scalable systems that free designers from repetitive production tasks so they can focus on higher-value creative thinking.

I believe the best creative leaders are also trusted partners - to their teams, their stakeholders, and their clients. I build that trust by delivering consistently, communicating clearly, and treating every brief as an opportunity to make something that actually moves people.
