As a website and graphic design artist with extensive expertise in creating visual assets for corporate, retail, e-commerce, nonprofit, educational, and small-to-midsize businesses nationwide and globally, I drive innovation and impact with each unique project. My approach to design is deeply collaborative. I value working with executives, business owners, their staff, and boards of directors to define a distinct brand strategy and create complementary visual elements. Whether working independently, collaboratively or leading a team, I manage complex projects and tight deadlines. I bring a wealth of experience in guiding creatives and effectively communicating visual direction.As one of the original Silicon Valley website designers, I started creating websites and interactive media while living in San Francisco in the mid-nineties. I collaborated to develop Starbucks’s first e-commerce website, designed and coded the first website for UPN TV San Francisco, and later served as Senior Web and Multimedia Designer for Jet Propulsion Laboratory. My specialties include Branding, Website Design, Graphic Design, Content Creation, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Social Media, Project Management, Blogging and connecting with diverse individuals and teams.
