What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a stable, long-term home where I can grow and build deep expertise. I value a team that respects the craft and trusts me with real ownership, since I do my best work when measured on results. Some schedule flexibility also helps me stay focused and reliable.

I'm a brand and marketing designer with 20 years of experience who turns ideas and strategy into polished, original work, fast. I've helped lead design at Crisis Prevention Institute, built brands as an art director at agencies, and learned the craft at Quad Creative/Quad Graphics. So I understand both the speed of agency life and the consistency of corporate brand demands.

My work spans brand identity, campaigns, marketing collateral, web, motion, and video. I'm also very tech savvy and love to figure roadblocks and problems out. I pick up new tools quickly, including AI tools like Microsoft 365 CoPilot and Open AI's Claude, and use them to streamline workflows and keep projects moving.

What colleagues tend to say about me is that I'm easy to work with. I love collaborating with writers, strategists, developers, and marketers, because the best brand work comes from people with different skillsets and ideas solving problems together.
