Design

I love finding creative and smart ways to visually convey information. My process involves deep research, iterative sketching and reworking, and testing out how to both leverage and subvert design and composition expectations. Though I have my own aesthetic, I am lauded for my ability to deliver delightful, successful projects even under tight voice and visual constraints. I understand the immense power of brand—the perception of an organization from the collective experience across all touchpoints—and the role design plays in supporting a strong, meaningful identity.
