I’m an experienced graphic designer, art director, and web designer/developer who thrives in a fast-paced environment. My assignments are consistently completed on time and on budget. My background includes experience operating as a strong partner with regional and Fortune 500 brands including Mutual of Omaha, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Johns Hopkins. I’ve collaborated on award-winning campaigns with some of the best people in the business: strategists, managers, copywriters, designers, web developers, data analysts and vendors. I’m also a leader and once lead a team of four designers, and established and managed a digital photo studio. I am an accomplished strategic partner who guides creative direction, and as an integral resource who develops and extends a brand’s equity and message to consumers through engaging print, web and social media design. Also, I am known for designing creative solutions that promote, elevate, and deliver revenue results.
