As a creative professional, I build big-picture ideas into award-winning solutions by combining insight and experience with beauty and style. I believe that good creative leaders know how to meet targets and objectives in harmony with strong visual design while embracing possibilities within the brand. In this fast-paced, global environment, I collaborate with a variety of professionals, executives, businesses and vendors around the world. With attention to detail, I deliver strategies across multiple collateral and media channels. I am highly organized, with the ability to steer collaborative settings, execute ideas, and manage multiple priorities. My experience includes large corporate in-house design, partnering with agencies and developing brands that work for small businesses. With a background in art and design, I love color and typography and creating strong visual design. I enjoy sharing my 25+ years of business and design knowledge with colleagues and mentoring students.EXPERTISECreative and Art DirectionStrategic and innovative thinkingBrand ManagementProject ManagementLeadershipGraphic Design and TypographyPrint and Digital DesignConcept to CompletionPROFICIENCYAdobe: Express, Firefly, Creative Cloud, including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and AcrobatMicrosoft PowerPoint and WordWordpress + Foleon web design platforms Mac and PC format
