With 18 years of experience in branding and design, I've worked with in-house creative teams and advertising agencies as a designer and a leader. I pride myself in building authentic brands that can connect with others and in building creative teams that can produce high-quality designs and concepts. The way I do this is by learning about the brand from as many angles and perspectives as I can. Then I start the creative work by starting with the creative team. I get to know the team and each individual strengths to mold a creative team to not only be inspired creatives, but also successful collaborators across departments. I direct creative work and also developing relationships to listen to the needs of every teams and implement/tweak processes for efficient workflows and clear communication. I foster a team environment where everyone can inspire, motivate, and support one another, while supporting each individual towards growth.
