Storytelling is my passion and my vehicle for expression is design.

I’m a professional designer with 28 years of very unique experiences from coast-to-coast in the U.S. and as far as Hong Kong, and my unconventional choices have provided me with skills in a range of fields in the design profession. I’ve spent most of the past 24 years in Washington DC, rising from Graphic Designer to Senior Designer to Art Director and Associate in fields such as magazine publishing, online and social media advertising, and experiential graphic design. Over the past 10 years I have found my true passion in the experiential graphic design field, leveraging skills acquired during my years in branding, digital media, and editorial products to ideate and realize authentic and impactful user experiences for corporate environments, museums, and traveling exhibitions, and to develop successful wayfinding systems for office complexes and multi-building campuses. My goal remains to infuse the built environment with storytelling and human connection.

In addition to my years as a corporate employee, I have worked hard as an independent designer and creative consultant, building and growing relationships with multiple clients of all scales in a variety of industries across all types of media to provide design, art direction, copywriting, campaign strategy, and technical recommendations.
