About Me
I’ve always been passionate about the creative process.
My background is in advertising, and I spent most of my career in marketing for higher education — I’ve been fortunate to work on a ton of exciting projects for all kinds of audiences.
Whether in print or digital, in visuals or in words, your next marketing project hinges on storytelling: The tone of voice, mood, colors, photography and content will look much different for teenagers than they would for middle managers.
That’s why I’m here. I’ve done a wide variety of creative projects in my career — strategy and planning, branding, integrated marketing, speechwriting, graphic design, you name it — so no matter the idea, I can help you bring it to life.
