about me

They call me the triple threat – an empathetic self-starter with experience in communications, graphic design, and project management. These disciplines work together in a versatile co-op of marketing insight, aesthetic sensibility, and personal authenticity. Through observation, research, and analysis, I produce content that connects with people. I don’t just tell a story, I find the universal truth and, through multiple access points, help people discover that truth for themselves.

A powerful growth mindset paired with a formidable work ethic drives me to do my best work every time. While outcomes are critical, I spend a lot of time reflecting on processes to identify where I can improve.
My job isn’t just to make things, but to make things better. Learning about and applying emerging technologies to my workflow not only increases capacity and quality but also frees up time (and energy) to think strategically. Maximizing the design and productivity tools I use every day gives me as much satisfaction as meeting a tight deadline or producing a killer design.
