I develop customer journeys that blend emotional narratives with data-driven metrics to drive engagement at every touchpoint in the funnel. From concept decks with persuasive brand strategy to large-scale photoshoots that steer end-to-end design, I build experiences that inspire action.

DESIGN-THINKING. A design pragmatist, I use cultural, competitor, and customer research to construct fresh, scalable strategies that inspire action.

EFFICIENCY. I encourage cross-team collaboration, and independently refine creative briefs to cure spin, keeping workflows smooth and workloads stable to prevent burnout.

CURIOSITY. I embrace innovation with new tools like Firefly or Google Flow, leaning on my foundation of Figma, Adobe CC, coding and print production.

CHANGE MINDSET. I’m a player-coach rallying the team for the next win, while maintaining calm working in ambiguity.

DEDICATION. Deeply investing in both the work and people, I build empowered teams that consistently deliver results.

Here’s the IMDB synopsis if my career was a tv show.

‘Rust Belt-born graphic designer heads to LA, landing in fashion marketing at denim retailer headquarters. She commutes on a vintage 80’s scooter and acquires jeans like it’s her job (which it is). After a reverse-manifest destiny move to Chicago, she evolves into a marketing art director for luxury brands, with an unhealthy love for vegetables on hot dogs. A headhunter lures her into Ohio’s retail hub, where she earns an ‘agency’ badge, then shifts in-house to produce award-winning campaigns for brands her family actually heard of. Cue the opening sequence: an unimpressive cactus collection in her home office and a Built To Spill song nobody remembers. Plot twist: the narrator? Her daughter.

Call Netflix. Now.

Beyond accolades that include my Hollister holiday campaign earning the brand’s best Black Friday sales, here are other humanizing claim-to-fames:

1. An array of Downy social media posts my scrappy agency team and I concepted featuring myself as accompanying talent, picked up for OOH ads in NYC.

2. Billboards on Sunset Blvd. and across Los Angeles for YMI Jeans I was able to humble-brag to friends “Oh, did you see my billboard in Hollywood?

3. Selling enough at-home screen printed Hunger Games merchandise on Etsy which led to partnership illustrations with Leah Bardugo, author of Shadow & Bone – seasons 1 & 2 on Netflix!
