What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build, inspire, and lead multinational creative teams through hands-on project execution, strong creative work, and UX/UI-driven digital experiences.

I've led creative direction for DeVries Global, shaping campaign ideas and guiding teams through social content, video shoots, landing pages, emails, and interactive work.

At Dana Communications, I directed agency interactive projects spanning responsive CMS websites, UX/UI, email marketing, social design, and CRM application management. I also supported new-business RFPs, client pitches, and lead generation.

At Oxford Communications, I managed creative and interactive services across print and digital design while improving processes, job tracking, and accountability with project management and account teams.

At Experian CheetahMail, I built and led a multinational design team of more than 30 people, delivering creative across client verticals and presenting industry best practices in email design at events, webinars, and client training sessions.
