Analytical. Creative. Driven. I am a people person with the goal of creating unique designs that allow businesses, people, and places to THRIVE.My experience in various design roles has allowed me to cultivate a unique skillset resulting in an effective graphic communication style. My work has been a catalyst in initiating the development process for many successful projects from gaining initial investors and capturing approvals from governing bodies to improving curb appeal for stronger transactions. From conceptual site plans to in depth marketing memorandums, my architectural and graphic design efforts have achieved results for my clients and I enjoy seeing projects grow from start to finish. I employ hand and computer generated design strategies, allowing me to work with multiple design tools and across platforms. Conceptual plans begin with blue sky ideas communicated fluidly with ink and markers. After refinement through the design process, these ideas become grounded in computer generated marketing materials and architectural plans through Adobe Suite and AutoCAD.
