Director-Level Strategy.
Senior-Level Execution.
I am an experienced website, publication, and brand designer based in the Mountain Standard Time zone, with a background in creative leadership. Over the past 20 years, I’ve partnered with a diverse range of clients — from tech startups and lifestyle brands to B2B companies and non-profits. I’ve spent my career bridging the gap between big-picture strategy and pixel-perfect design.
After years in design leadership, I’ve returned to what I love most: the work. I’m currently available for collaborations and roles that value the speed and precision of senior designer who understands the business goals behind the visuals.
