Hi there! I’m a creative director and designer working and living in the Queen City.
I am a Creative Director and visual storyteller based in Charlotte with over a decade of experience leading design teams in publishing, B2B marketing, and digital advertising. My expertise lies in managing high-volume production cycles from complex editorial projects to integrated digital campaigns while driving brand consistency and strategic impact.
With a dual background in Studio Art and English, I combine a deep love for narrative with technical proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. My career has spanned nonprofits and agencies, where I have directed photo and video shoots, managed intricate vendor relationships, and developed creative solutions for complex brand challenges.
Having spent years navigating the intersection of tactile book design and performance-driven digital media, I thrive on curiosity and a hands-on approach to building brands. Outside of the studio, I am likely exploring new landscapes, diving into a book, or spending time with my partner and dogs.
