An informal introduction.
I am a design strategist and problem solver, motivated by new challenges and the opportunity to help organizations, and the people connected to them, succeed in their pursuits.
Throughout my thirty years in the design industry, I have had the privilege of working with many talented people, reputable agencies, and industry-leading corporations. Along the way, I gained a wealth of experience, knowledge, and skills, and I learned that when it comes to design and relationships, the small stuff makes a difference, so sweat the small stuff. My background consists of a healthy mix of design, creative direction, team building, and project management, with a passion for helping organizations shape and elevate their brands and engage with their audiences. It has been an exciting and fulfilling journey, and I look forward to the new opportunities, challenges, and experiences ahead.
