hello
 
  BIOGRAPHY

I am a passionate Art Director with 10 years of professional design experience – from managing in-house creative teams and day-to-day studio operations, to developing external client relationships, brand communications, idea generation, and photography art direction. Previous work settings include an advertising and branding agency, boutique design studios, and international publications.

Highlights of my career include being commissioned to create an original artwork for the cover of The New York Times Magazine, contracted to develop brand and identity systems for Nike’s sustainability division, recognized as an emerging young designer for Print Magazine’s annual 20 Under 30 New Visual Artists Award, and featured in design publications such as the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the Society of Publication Designers Annuals.

The diversity of my work reveals an ability to apply design skills in innovative ways that elevate brand and design excellence.
I have a unique background of experiences in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. These opportunities speak to my outgoing and resourceful personality. In each location, I consistently revealed a talent for building solid personal and professional relationships.

Throughout my ten-year career, I have always positioned myself to work with the most talented studios and design peers, under the belief that one can always continue to learn and refine their craft and design process.
