About
With over two decades in digital media design it's fair to say I'm more than a digital native. I’ve traversed the worlds of traditional advertising, online media, and brand experience—delivering fresh ways to combine art, strategy, and emerging technologies to solve complex business challenges and craft arresting brands.
Growing up in a family of fashion industry leaders provided an early understanding of the importance of design and taste-making in driving business and culture, along with the common challenges of scaling a brand. That foundation led me to study fine art, photography, and advertising at the Savannah College of Art and Design and Miami Ad School.
I learned the ropes working in creative shops like Saatchi & Saatchi and Ogilvy in New York, along with 8 years working with R&R Partners developing the Las Vegas Tourism brand among other accounts. In addition, I've spent as many years freelancing along the California coast, and working brand-side with marketing and design teams at E.J. Gallo Vineyards, HubSpot, and MGM Resorts International.
Now residing in San Francisco, I enjoy contributing to the creative community as an advisor, mentor, competition judge and forever-learner. My efforts are recognized by the American Advertising Federation, AdAge, The New York Times, Graphis, Lürzer’s Archive, and other industry publications.
