I enjoy amplifying brands, and inspiring others to love their creative lives.
As an independent Creative Director, I enjoy being able to focus on the areas of creative work I am most passionate about including brand strategy, interior branding, out-of-home and integrated campaigns. I have worked for non-profits, at agencies, in-house, and as a private contractor. My client experience ranges from startups to Fortune 500s. Currently, my largest client base is through Azella, a team of professionals working to transform the marketing landscape for Independent Financial Advisors.
As a speaker, connecting with others and inspiring them to love their creative lives is what I find most fulfilling. A former design professor, I enjoy mentoring others and watching them reach new potentials. Previous speaking engagements include, the HOW design conference (2013), Gas Can 2014 (Kansas City's creative conference), and to AAF chapters. Topics I have spoken on include: keeping negative thoughts and anxiety from disrupting your creative flow, and using handmade items to increase your creativity and improve your work.
