About me:
My career as an art director, graphic designer, and strategic marketing professional has spanned nearly 20 years. A native Charlottean, I am very proud to have been around to participate and contribute to the growth of my city.

I am detailed and schedule-oriented, thriving best in a diverse environment. As an in-house creative, I've enjoyed crossing 'silos' and contributing to the overall mission of the organization.

I bring to the table a strong understanding of both design intent and implementation across multiple channels and platforms. Brainstorming and strategizing are integral to any creative pursuit and are amongst my strengths. As a professional in the field, I understand that deadlines are absolute and market conditions often dictate deliverable priorities. While I prefer to plan, my time in the fast-paced non-profit and event spaces often required a quick response. I have grown increasingly flexible and agile, pivoting between projects while maintaining brand integrity.
