Creative Direction, Design & Illustration

I'm an award-winning designer and illustrator with more than 18 years of advertising and marketing experience. I have senior level experience leading offline and online teams through all steps of the strategy, design and development process. While interactive design is my current passion, my work is informed by experiences in print, television, direct, outdoor, tradeshow, branding and packaging.
