What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own creative strategy and content systems end-to-end—translating complex problems into clear direction, shipping scalable brand assets, and using engagement data to improve campaign performance across print, digital, and motion.

I’m a Creative Strategist and Multimedia Designer with 15+ years directing campaigns, building brand systems, and executing across print, digital, video, and motion. I specialize in translating complex problems into clear creative direction and scalable systems.

I’ve worked across entertainment, publishing, tech, and e-commerce, developing visual identities and maintaining brand consistency across channels. I also design across full ranges of formats—from ads and flyers to posters, book layouts, and e-commerce product imagery.

In creative strategy roles, I’ve built and owned content systems for digital, motion, and social—covering brand voice, campaign direction, and asset production. I translate complex concepts into accessible storytelling to keep communities engaged through changing conditions.

I’m deeply process- and performance-minded: I collect and analyze engagement data to refine strategy and improve campaign results. I collaborate with distributed teams, direct creative briefs, and manage project timelines to deliver reliably without losing quality.
