As an art director and designer, I have extensive experience in all phases of the design process, from concept development to production, to making the coffee. My past responsibilities include art direction, design and brand implementation, project management and vendor coordination.
I am equally comfortable adopting leadership or supporting roles in the pursuit of creating intelligent, effective visual communication. I happily share my knowledge when appropriate and eagerly learn new skills when possible.
I hope you like what you’ve seen and read. If you’d like me on your team or have any questions, please do get in touch.
