I'm a senior designer and creative project manager with a background spanning editorial, brand identity, and strategic communications. I've designed for Fortune 500 clients, nonprofits, and startups with one goal: do great work.
My strength is in systems thinking. Whether it's a white paper series, a brand playbook, or a social media presence, I build the scaffolding that lets design scale without losing its edge.
What I Do
From the first strategic brief to the final print file, I handle the full design lifecycle with precision and intention.
Tools & Software
Editorial & Publication Design
Annual reports, white papers, books, and research publications that look authoritative and read clearly.
Brand Identity Systems
Logos, visual languages, and brand guidelines built for flexibility and longevity.
Social & Digital Content
Content systems and collateral designed for consistency across platforms at scale.
Art Direction
Photography briefs, layout direction, and visual storytelling that ties everything together.
Strategic Communications
Proposals, pitch decks, and client-facing documents that win business and build trust.
Project Management
End-to-end production management: timelines, vendor coordination, stakeholder alignment, and on-budget delivery.
Open to Opportunities
I'm currently available for full-time roles, freelance projects, and consulting. If you need a designer or creative Project Manager who thinks strategically and executes precisely, let's talk.
