Creative Director, Art Director, Designer,
Cyclist, Skier, and Adventurer.
A highly talented, results-driven Creative Director with over 20 years of combined experience in art direction, design, and creative team management. I have consistently developed creative strategies and inspired teams to deliver world-class advertising/marketing campaigns that have increased revenue and heightened brand awareness for many clients. Ensure all projects are aligned to set goals and delivered on time and within budget. Successfully collaborate with stakeholders, including clients, ECDs, account supervisors, producers, and others. Possess an excellent eye for detail and a nuanced understanding of brand voice and messaging. I am a life-long learner with a strong desire to continue to grow professionally.
Aside from work, I am passionate about cycling and the outdoors. You’ll find me on trails for cross-country, single-track, or downhill mountain biking. I love traveling, hiking, skiing, and having adventures with friends and family. That passion drove me to create Overland Girl, a content-driven idea rooted in getting people to see the value just being outside can have on your life.
