Experienced Art Director & Designer

Transforming Brand Vision Into Masterpieces

who I am

My home-base is Colorado but I've lived and worked all over the U.S.

My passion for art and design has allowed me to pursue a career in the design industry for the last 15+ years. I've been very lucky to work and collaborate with some amazing people.

I am endlessly fascinated at the ways in which words, images, music and motion combine to communicate more together than they do separately. And I believe that's what we're all here to do, listen, share, inspire and learn from each other.

My goals in life are to read all the books, see all the art and pet all the animals: I am nowhere close.

MY CAREER JOURNEY

August 2020 - Present

Access Marketing Company
Sr. Art Director Specialized Accounts

Translated client visions into compelling visual designs, managing execution across multiple channels to maximize impact and engagement. I work in partnership with all departments to ensure execution of the intended vision. I am also accountable for the quality and accuracy of junior design team members and provide feedback when needed. A big part of my job is offering significant online and print contributions to numerous campaigns for the biggest names in telecom (names upon request!). Of course, I also maintain the branding materials for our own website and digital presence. One of my favorite tasks is conceptualizing and creating video and motion graphics intended to increase engagement and lead-generation. I enjoy analyzing an audience, message and medium to determine what design efforts and initiatives will be most impactful. I'm always exploring new design trends, tools, and insights to keep myself sharp.
