About
‍
I am a creative director based in Chicago. My experience spans mediums and markets, from consumer to B2B to nonprofit. My work emphasizes strategy, results, and human-centered design practices.

After receiving my BFA from UW-Stout, I went on to graduate from the M.AD School of Ideas in Atlanta, and have held agency positions throughout my career.  I love a design challenge and thrive on collaboration.

Reach out. I am currently available for freelance and full-time work.
