I’m a creative leader and problem-solving designer with a passion for building brands, guiding teams, and shaping thoughtful visual experiences. With a career spanning 25+ years across healthcare, nonprofit, and commercial industries, I unite strategic vision with hands-on creative execution to bring ideas to life with clarity, purpose, and heart.
Known for bringing calm direction and a solutions-focused mindset to fast-moving environments, I translate complex needs into compelling creative systems — from brand evolution and campaign development to immersive environments and audience-centered educational experiences.
Rooted in a background in fine art and photography, I bring depth, nuance, and an eye for emotional resonance to every project. I believe design is most powerful when it solves real problems, builds connection, and moves people — not just visually, but emotionally and experientially.
