I’m a Design Director available for interim and fractional creative leadership. With experience in agency and corporate environments as both leader and maker, I’m an ideal source for short-term contract and project-based engagements.

  • I’m a creative collaborator who knows how to solo and lead while still happy to produce production design when needed. I keep things efficient, thoughtful, and process focused. My goal is to begin every project with listening and end with something you’re proud to share.

  • I began my career at the renowned studio of Sandstrom Partners, focusing on brand strategy, packaging and brand identity. Since then, I’ve worked at adidas on the North American Brand team, Taylor Corporation focusing on retail display design, and independently with agencies on the west and east coast.

  • From startups to global brands, I’ve been a lead creative or team member on projects for adidas, Nike, Coca Cola, Chevrolet, ESPN, Sephora, and Brooks Running, as well as numerous smaller brands making big impacts in their industries.

“Love the creativity. Shocked and in awe by the shoebox exhibit concept. That really has legs at retail. I like that it’s modular so we have the capability to build it out. The built-in flexibility is cool. This all looks incredible. Thank you for the time, thought, and effort that went into this. It doesn’t go unnoticed!”
