I have experience working with a wide range of companies, including multiple startups, large corporations and a non-profit. I've helped launch two website redesigns, a branding refresh, art directed eight hero photoshoots and counting, built two 60+ page brand guides, and have been known to break out the glue stick and exacto knife when needed. I love collaborating with other designers and project managers to think of every possible solution to a problem and push together toward the best solution.
