About
As a brand designer / production designer, I’ve had the pleasure of working on accounts both large and small. Whether it’s a billion-dollar company or a startup, I bring the same passion for creativity and execution to every project. I value the collaborative process and I’m a true believer in its power to arrive at a solution. Because when two or more heads are working toward a common goal, amazing things happen, resulting in great work. This collaborative spirit, along with my depth of experience, eye for detail and drive for finding a thoughtful and beautiful answer will be an invaluable asset to your creative team.
