Summary
A seasoned designer and art director, I bring a blend of creative "wow" and pragmatic "let's get down to business" to every project (those are direct quotes!). My strengths are in branding, digital and print design and production, art direction, and WordPress development and optimization. I've significant work in healthcare, finance, universities, foundations, and associations, including notable clients such as State Farm, Avery Dennison, University of Chicago (and its Medical Center), Moderna, and Merck. I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and have a strong understanding of UX/UI principles. I am passionate about problem-solving, strategic thinking, and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. I have also spoken internationally on WordPress, design thinking, branding, and freelancing. Whether it's conceptualizing a new brand identity, designing a user-friendly website, or optimizing digital workflows, I am dedicated to delivering smart design and effective implementation.
