about

 

As a creative director with over 25 years of branding experience, I have the expertise to lead your team, manage a brand, work directly with C-suite teams, and bring smart ideas to life.

I’m also a freelance brand designer. I prioritize imaginative ideas and client collaboration with a can-do attitude.

With my experience in brand, design, and strategy, I know how to help startups hit the ground running and how to energize long-established companies. 

My resume is available on LinkedIn.

Nature and exploration inspire me to hike the Appalachian Trail, to fish the Boundary Waters, to hunt the ever-elusive Northern lights, and swim the seven ancient seas. (Still working on that last one.)
