What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead omnichannel brand work that connects business strategy to strong visual storytelling, while using AI-enabled workflows to improve creative execution, collaboration, and delivery.

At Ricoh USA, I execute integrated brand experiences across digital and analog screens, environments, and assets. I translate brand strategy into creative work that strengthens visual presence while protecting brand integrity.

I lead 360° campaigns across digital, social, and print, and directed production for more than 10 high-end brand publications annually. By optimizing workflows, I reduced publication turnaround time by 15% and helped lead Ricoh’s initial internal working group for testing and scaling AI tools.

Through my consulting practice, I served as an external Creative Director for clients including Ricoh, Spencer Stuart, Ferguson Partners, Campbell & Company, agencies, media organizations, and tech startups. I turn abstract business objectives into cohesive visual languages across web, social, and print, while creating standards that reduced project lead times by 10%.

Previously, at Spencer Stuart, I led creative teams and global brand projects from brainstorming through final presentation and implementation. I bring 25+ years of experience in brand stewardship, visual storytelling, team leadership, and deadline-driven production, supported by Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, and generative AI workflows.
