Proven VIsual design, stratgey, Brand Marketing, and Story Craft

I’m a Seattle-area multidisciplinary creative whose career has been built around one defining strength: the ability to work across a broad spectrum of visual design disciplines while maintaining a clear strategic point of view.

My experience spans Creative Direction, Art Direction, Executive Communications, Brand and Marketing Design, Illustration, and Graphic Design for some of today’s most recognized local, national, and global Fortune 100 brands. That range allows me to move comfortably between high-level creative strategy and hands-on execution, connecting ideas across disciplines rather than approaching design through a single specialization.

The visual work in this portfolio is the most visible layer of that process. Behind each solution are considerations of audience, strategy, positioning, messaging, brand, marketing objectives, and the context in which the work needs to perform.

I’ve organized this portfolio by design specialty rather than by individual project because versatility is an important part of what I bring to a creative team. The breadth of the work reflects my ability to adapt to different audiences, formats, technologies, and business challenges while maintaining a consistent focus on clear communication and strong visual storytelling.

I invite you to explore the work and see how that range of experience can help shape, strengthen, and tell your brand story.

Generative AI

Generative AI and incorporating AI into the design workflow as a critical tool is enabling new, captivating results. Featured are two examples of expanding on event branding design to push what is possible. Both are my efforts as Creative Director, Art Director and Producer of event brand design systems, and taking those systems into motion graphics sizzle reels. See more on Microsoft Events page.

Good design tells a story, reveals and explores possibilities.
