As a Freelance Art Director, I provide creative support and campaign execution for national advertising agencies. I designed a logo and packaging system for a vegan pet treat brand, and developed and launched a website for a global e-commerce consumer brand.

At FINALSITE, I directed brand-aligned digital, print, and video assets for product launches and lead generation. Earlier, as Senior Art Director at BUTLER/TILL and Interactive Art Director at PARTNERS + NAPIER, I worked on integrated campaigns and interactive media, including the agency’s first rich media campaign, featured on Yahoo, ESPN, and USA Today.
