A business minded and award-winning creative leader with a knack for creating fun and emotionally resonant brand experiences for consumers. My greatest strength? An innate ability to learn and understand clients and teammates, adapting to new environments and complex design challenges as if it were second-nature. A mentor for cross-functional creative teams, I prefer creative connection vs creative silos and utilizing humor and empathy to champion those I work with.
Available as a creative director, brand strategist, coach for team building, and educational lectures.
When not building teams, scrutinizing design, and illustrating silly things; I can be found avidly road cycling around Seattle in my neon pink helmet, motoring out-of-town on my Duke 690, and generally learning about anything and everything.
A good portion of my time is also spent with my at-home creative partners: Butter, long-haired dachshund and cuddly wrist rest and Roux, boxer-basset hound in charge of office culture.
Softball. Cooking. Investing.
Finding more time for myself (which is hard, because I really like my job) and my family.
You can't make everyone happy, you're not an avocado.
Cake decorating.
Tattoo artist.
Keyboard shortcuts.
Kerning, tracking, and leading.
