ABOUT ME
I'm a creative manager who lives in the Chicago area (Chicagoland to the locals). I'm still new to the area, but I used to live in Asheville, North Carolina + before that, boring-old Missouri. Yeah, I'm back in the midwest!
I have a strong foundation in graphic design, specializing in leading visually compelling campaigns across digital and print platforms. I'm experienced in managing design teams, providing strategic direction, + ensuring brand consistency across all touch points. I'm proficient in Figma + Adobe Creative Suite, with a hands-on approach to concept development, execution, + optimization of high-impact marketing assets.
