What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end creative strategy with strong design ops—owning cross-channel brand governance, mentoring teams, and delivering measurable ROI across multiple markets.

I’m a high-impact Art Director and MBA candidate who bridges creative execution with business growth. I specialize in design operations, cross-channel brand strategy, and multi-market visual governance—turning ideas into systems that scale.

At THE POST AND COURIER, I direct the creative and artistic strategy for digital marketing and audience acquisition across 16 markets. I drove a 10% net growth in total digital subscribers by designing high-converting visual assets, and I own the full execution lifecycle for an average of 25 integrated digital marketing campaigns annually.

I also run a freelance design studio where I deliver bespoke branding, product, and marketing solutions for early-stage startups and e-commerce brands. From end-to-end brand development to UX/UI design and conversion-focused e-commerce assets, I align visual identity and digital products with client growth metrics and market launch goals.

My operations background strengthens how I lead teams and manage outcomes. I’ve scaled corporate operations from $2M to $10M, centralized business operations, and partnered across engineering, editorial, marketing, and executives—so my creative leadership is always grounded in process, budget adherence, and measurable ROI.
