What I'm looking for

I seek senior/lead roles in Art Direction, Creative Leadership, or Design Strategy where I can drive brand systems, optimize production, lead teams, and increase digital engagement.

I am a Senior Art Director and Designer with 20 years of experience delivering visual strategy and high-quality creative assets across digital, motion and print for agencies, brands and NGOs. I specialize in structuring brand systems, optimizing production workflows and aligning design with business goals.

I lead end-to-end creative processes, manage cross-functional teams and deliver campaigns under tight deadlines, producing static and motion assets, UX/UI work and multichannel content pipelines. My work has driven significant digital engagement increases, including a ~70% e-commerce traffic uplift and notable results for nonprofit campaigns.

I am recognized for improving production reporting and delivery cadence, and I remain open to senior/lead roles in Art Direction, Creative Leadership or Design Strategy, with flexibility for relocation, hybrid or remote arrangements.
