I am senior-level designer who possesses a great passion for design, typography and white space. I strive to balance project management, design production, and client interaction to meet and, sometimes, beat deadlines. Since 2001, I have worked in the creative field for large DoD government consulting firms, performing arts organizations, marketing agencies, professional associations, publications, and individuals. Over the years, my responsibilities include art direction, design and project management of print and electronic promotional materials, and brand identity creation. Also, I have been responsible for web design and maintenance, publication design and production, post-production video editing, motion graphic compositing, social media management, and distance learning studio management.
I excel in both working independently and in a large team environment. Striving to use my creativity, I utilize my skills to help meet each need. Hoping to take each idea to a new level, I work closely with the clients, creative/marketing directors, and designers to formulate the most sophisticated and effective design solution. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Art & Computer Graphics and a Masters in Digital Art from George Mason University. I have expertise in the Adobe Creative Cloud for all of my design projects.
When I’m not designing, you can find me spending time with my family, listening to an eclectic selection of music, catching the latest superhero film, or binging the next trendy show. You can also find me in the kitchen baking or cooking, attempting a DIY home project, drawing something inspiring, or with my nose in a book.
