Experience
I have worked in and with nearly every kind of branding environment: from small design studios to event production companies, digital agencies to ad/branding agencies, in-house marketing departments for Fortune 500 companies to the
largest retail company in the world. I’ve helmed national branding efforts,
innovation strategies, and diversity and inclusion initiatives while managing
and leading teams of 50 or more. My work has been featured in books, magazines and online: Logo Lounge, Fingerprint (1+2), PRINT, HOW, Communication Arts, AdAge, ID, etc; and recognized in both local and national design, marketing and advertising awards shows – even earning a Webby.
