Creativity has always been a personal imperative for me and I'm delighted to find, experience and grow in creativity in my professional passion! Trained in graphic design, with a special affinity toward package design and various forms of print design, I thrive when I get to put all the parts together. Whether it is a 180-page catalog or a 4-inch by 4-inch hangtag, I feel most accomplished when I have the opportunity to execute the creative vision as I layout all the individual pieces in collaboration with a team of talented creators — photographers, copywriters, illustrators, and more!Previous experience in administrative, clerical, and retail roles coupled with a long ago thought that I might one day become a teacher inform my approach to mentoring and leading other Creatives — collaboration, communication, and organization are key. Leader or not, we are all part of the same team on a path toward the same goal.I am so fortunate to work in a field that I love with a global community of people who challenge and inspire me!
