Who am I?

I’m a visual designer and creative thinker who grew into a leader over the past decade, working across publishing, editorial, and marketing. At my best, I sit somewhere between the big picture and the details. Close enough to the work to know when something isn’t there yet, and far enough back to see why it matters.

 

That instinct developed over time, as I learned how to translate strategy into visuals that accomplish the goal. It took shape at Forbes, where design had to earn its place across print, digital, and live events, and grew further at The Washington Post. The pace, the expectations, and the level of work pushed me to have a clearer understanding of where the bar should be.

 

I’ve designed and led work for global brands including Rolex, AWS, AT&T, Meta, and Intel. Along the way, I found myself just as drawn to mentoring, shaping creative direction, and building shared standards as I was to the work itself. Strong collaboration, in my experience, comes down to clarity, trust, and knowing when to step in and when to get out of the way.

 

I believe the best work happens when strategy, intention, and collaboration are all in the room at the same time. A big part of my role is making that possible.
