What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior design roles or freelance projects where I can lead branding and packaging work, mentor teams, and create culturally resonant visual systems.

I am a Denver-based graphic designer and illustrator with 30+ years of experience crafting branding, packaging, advertising, corporate collateral, apparel and illustration.

My international and small-market experience across New York, San Francisco, Boston, Ireland, the UK, Hawai‘i and Denver has given me a unique blend of skills and cross-disciplinary approaches that help me craft work that speaks, solves and sells.

I have held senior and independent design roles, led strategic apparel design, and freelanced as a designer and illustrator while earning recognition such as industry awards and published work.

I produce creative solutions across print, digital and environmental graphics, and I’m driven to create work that connects audiences and delivers measurable brand value.
