About me

I have served in a variety of roles in my design career in which I have been responsible for designing and conceptualizing a multitude of products for the United States and international marketing and publishing units.

I am an innovative and creative designer with excellent design and presentation skills and have the ability to communicate my ideas to stakeholders and other cross-functional teams. As designer, I am fully capable of juggling multiple projects at once, taking them from concept to completion and able to fluidly carry through the design and approval process while keeping all elements on schedule and on budget. Have also managed project team of in-house and freelance designers, as well as illustrators and photographers. I absolutely love design and what I do and this reflects on my work and my attitude.
