In My Own Words
Hello! I'm a creative professional with 15+ years of experience in graphic and web design, art direction, branding, content creation, copywriting, event planning, and project management. Because I've spent my career at the crossroads of marketing, branding, and design, every project I am involved in is driven by strategy. I thrive at managing all facets of the brand experience in order to engage audiences. Every day I look forward to my next marketing or design challenge whether it be digital, print, or in the social media world.

As a Senior Marketing Manager and Designer for B2B SaaS platforms and financial resources, I created and managed all facets of the brand experience to create awareness and engage our audience. Every day looked different for me. Sometimes I was designing a landing page or print brochure, others I was strategizing on a product launch or creating content for social media or a blog post. In this position I was responsible for the design and copy of digital and print projects, including landing pages, email templates, social media content, blogs, infographics, advertisements, event collateral, and more.
