As a senior creative, I bring more than 12 years of experience as a Creative Director and 20 years of experience in Art Direction, Design, Photography Management and Editing, and a healthy dose of video/sound creating and production. I’ve had the privilege of working with great leaders and also as a leader, working with teams of very talented individuals. I am always in the work no matter what the position – from concept to completion.

In addition to creative strategy and ideation, I have a deep knowledge of photo-illustration, composite, retouch, and photo editing. Transposing my experience in fine art to commercial art, I enjoy using everything Adobe Creative Cloud has to offer to build exciting images, videos, animations and illustrations. My years in independent film package design led me to creating some exciting campaigns using those skills in food and beverage, which in turn has led me into small collaborations in adventure building, map creation and illustrations for TTRPGs. 

I take pride in producing experiences that feel rich, original, and fully realized. Each problem has its own unique set of challenges, and the solution should be equally as unique while also being true to its brand. I specialize in strategies that adhere to the core truths within every company or product using the following steps – find the strength, discover why it is necessary, and tell the story honestly and authentically. Always make it compelling.

I enjoy working with others, and I believe that the idea is always the boss, not any one person. When I am in a leadership position, I enjoy swimming with the team - meaning we are all working together, failing together, and iterating together until we find the best solution.

I guess when I’m not “working,” my biggest practice is finding the quiet in which to daydream. Recharge the imagination by letting everything go. The ideas that flood in during these times lead me to many other interesting practices and activities outside of a traditional job – painting, music making and creative writing. I’ve taken up painting miniatures - my new canvas these days. I also create original works for my Etsy shop, Hungry Head Design, a name derived from an endless appetite for new experiences. And, of course, I love my pack of Salukis. Tanka, Bodhi and Maya. Always a source of funny inspiration.
