I’m a problem-solver with a deep toolkit developed through long experience. I’m continuously learning and adapting, by nature. I’m reliable from a personal sense of responsibility. I’m great at working collaboratively with clients, creative teams, account teams, project managers, and vendors. I have experience in most aspects of graphic design, advertising, and marketing, and am eager to be a valuable and integral part of the team.I’m an awesome team member with loads of experience — in a full gamut of design and marketing — integrated with an adaptive, collaborative, positive attitude. I have been in the advertising and marketing world for decades: from being part of creative teams at international ad agencies, where working in concert is key and deadlines are immutable; to being the one-person, in-house marketing department for small companies and sole proprietors, where it’s all up to me. While my true love is bold, rich color, I’m a skilled chameleon with an empathic facility for implementing others’ vision, both creatively and faithfully expressing a brand vocabulary. A lifelong learner and playful spirit, I offer a great skill set and a can-do attitude grounded in real-world experience. A seasoned professional, I’ve been working remotely long before the Pandemic taught everyone else how to embrace it. I'm grateful to be in a meaningful, full-time remote employee position and part of a team family.In my freelance work, I have designed and built logos/identity systems, marketing campaigns, websites and more for individuals and small companies, as well as pinch-hitting for agencies and PR firms.
