I’m a brand builder, creative partner and strategic thinker with 15+ years of experience helping organizations shape ideas, solve problems and build brands that grow with them.

I’ve spent much of my career building long-term relationships with organizations and becoming someone they trust not just to execute an idea, but to help figure out what they need in the first place. I like understanding the bigger picture, asking the right questions and finding the creative opportunity inside a business or communication challenge.

My experience spans brand strategy and identity, integrated campaigns, events and experiences, digital, print, content, photography and video. I’ve worked across automotive, nonprofit, municipal, economic development, healthcare and professional services, from emerging organizations to Fortune 500 companies.

I’m a hands-on creative at heart. I love shaping the big idea, but I’m just as comfortable figuring out how to make it happen, whether that means building a brand system, developing a campaign, directing a shoot or bringing together the right people and partners. For me, the strongest work comes from understanding the organization first and building something that feels intentional, useful and genuinely connects with people.

That relationship-first approach has led to partnerships that lasted years, with the work evolving alongside the organizations themselves. It’s also what I’m looking to build more of: opportunities where I can become a trusted creative partner, help shape what comes next and stay involved long enough to see an idea grow.

Outside of client work, I created Monthly Magic, a newsletter centered on creativity, connection and momentum. Through its Creative Connections Corner, I spotlight other artists and creatives, share their work and create something original to help promote what they do. It’s another extension of something I’ve always valued: connecting good people with good ideas and creating opportunities for both.

I’m a graduate of the College for Creative Studies with a BFA focused on photography, graphic design and advertising, along with a semester studying art in Florence, Italy. My career has also included agency, freelance and editorial work with organizations including Hour Media and AutoWeek Magazine, with work recognized by IABC Heritage Region and CCA North America.
