I have spent the past 20 years working within advertising, marketing, media tech, startup and in the nonprofit sector. Having had various roles within design has helped me excel in my current role as an Executive Creative Director, leading a team of designers and working together with leadership, marketing, and sales departments to support the evolving needs of my clients.

My focus as a creative professional is to develop accessible content in a way that best communicates information to meet objectives for a diverse audience. In business, I partner closely with writers, researchers, designers, and subject matter experts to determine the main success drivers then oversee the quality of the work into its final execution.

Additionally, I have experience teaching User Experience Design courses, creating instructional training curriculum and videos, while also serving as a continuing education instructor. I have a blended perspective as someone who has worked in both education and commercial design with an emphasis on driving marketing initiatives through web communication, emerging technology, and social media. I have been noted for my excellent communication skills that allow me to transmit information to diverse learners and end users.
