BACKGROUND
With over 25 years experience, I have led and implemented large and small brand identities, written and developed brand guidelines, conceptualized campaigns and events, built strategic design systems, created various types of reports, websites, communications and marketing collateral for international and local nonprofits, as well as Fortune 500 companies. I have also managed client accounts, directed design teams, co-founded a design studio...and along the way I’ve won some awards, too.
Fortunate to collaborate with a wide range of clients on a variety of projects, I'm drawn to cause-based initiatives. The people and organizations that share, advocate and educate in this complex world are the partnerships I treasure and look to assist in any capacity needed. I continue to work at being a part of this space, contributing on both an artistic and humanitarian level. Intersecting these two paths naturally inspire the creative process.
APPROACH
In today’s immediate and fast-moving culture, I find it valuable to take the time to listen to my client’s goals and objectives for each project. Understanding their message and together discussing ideas and vision are critical in creating effective visual solutions. This simple process of listening, combined with thoughtful but targeted exploration, has resulted in successful engagements and decades-long relationships.
WHERE
After 13 years in New York City, I've returned to Colorado where my career began, and where I now spend my free time running endlessly in the Rocky Mountains.
