I live at the intersection of left brain and right brain capabilities.

I see myself as a creative instigator, with a unique ability to bring the best out of the design and marketing elements, and my teammates. Detail-oriented and deadline focused, I pride myself on work done quickly and properly. I have the unique skill of seeing design and visual trends before they arrive.

Ideas are easy. Execution is hard. I excel at both and consider myself an expert in inspired creative thinking. I have served as Creative and Marketing Director at a New York-based advertising and marketing agency, bringing years of experience to branding, new product introductions and niche marketing.

Having worked remotely for years, I am already comfortable in this new and unique landscape of online collaboration and feedback. I have consulted to businesses large and small, marketing agencies, institutions and publishers looking to bring their brand identities to life, or expand market share.

As a designer with a marketing sense, and as a marketer with design sense, I am used to coordinating all the moving parts in the building and growth of a brand, product or organization – from creative inception to art direction; from concept to finish.
