In My Own Words
A creative professional with 11+ years experience in branding and marketing for digital & print. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with forward-thinking tech startups and globally recognized brands in-house as well as a freelancer. I bring with me a variety of design skills to help craft lasting brand messaging, produce new design approaches, and help contribute to a solid team of diverse design backgrounds.
I have a passion for creating logos and identities for various brands because it makes every project unique and different from the last. My taste for design is a lot like my lifestyle - a balanced of variety & keeping things simple, but impactful.
Collaborating on something from nothing with other designers is a dream job to me, and although not everyone on this planet will always see eye-to-eye on things, I generally have the ability to get along with most people and keep the gears turning smoothly.
Let's work together.
