About

Experienced Designer skilled in Print & Digital Publishing, Identity Design, Typography, and Illustration. I have highly developed critical thinking skills honed by my broad experience. As an experienced leader, I believe effective and engaging marketing happens when there is combination of great writing, coherent branding strategy, and classic design solutions.

I have:

• an intellectual curiosity an unquenchable desire to learn;

• the willingness to truly listen;

• to collaborate instead of mandate;

• empathy and diplomacy in minimizing conflict;

• an open-mindedness to new approaches and alternative viewpoints.

If there is one common thread throughout my career, it is, that I am a problem-solver.
