About Me

Hello!
I am an art director with several years of design experience and a master’s degree. I specialize in brand design and strategic campaigns, with extensive experience in print, web design, and social marketing.

Why choose me?

I love challenges and embrace new ideas. I have both agency and freelance experience. I know how to use all assets available to me to deliver the best work.

This is My Vision

I strive to help companies of all sizes achieve the identity and design that best communicates their goals. I love taking on new companies and helping them develop an identity for themselves. Starting with a blank canvas is always exciting, but working with existing brands is equally rewarding. I believe utilizing data and strategy is especially important for established brands.

My Skill Set

From unique business cards to full–fledged advertising campaigns, I can tackle your projects with my extensive knowledge of Adobe products (Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver) and my creative dedication to your goals.

Brand Design

I work on all aspects of branding—print, web, packaging, UI, promotional materials and more—for all business sizes.

Layout Design

I have extensive experience with print design like business cards, postcards, flyers, posters, magazines, advertisements, books and more.

Web Design

I can work alongside a UX designer to design a custom website, or I can produce one myself through html templates or CMS.

Work Ethic

I have experience working on large teams, managing small teams and working individually on clients’ projects.

Photography

I photograph subject matter for use in clients’ projects, minor freelance shoots and as a personal hobby.

Illustration

I produce my own vector graphics and Photoshop illustrations for projects as well as hand renderings for freelance clients.

My Process

Whether you want to be heavily involved or just give me an overview of your project, I use this general process to solve your creative needs.

Researching

I believe a characteristic that sets me apart is my habit of researching my client or project fully before brainstorming ideas. I think many artists receive a project and want to create it their way with little regard to the client. My work will be true to my client and creatively fulfill the project specifications.

Researching

Brainstorming

The brainstorming phase is my chance to touch base with you. I don’t want to waste your time or money, so I will contact you with preliminary ideas to make sure I am designing true to your plan. Ideas and concerns are welcome!

Designing

Developing

This is the exciting phase! All of our ideas start coming to life, and you get a full visual/presentation of the project.

Developing

Finalizing

I will work tirelessly to perfect every part of your project, even the details you may not notice! In this phase I will present you with the final project/presentation and receive your approval.

Finalizing
