Shepherding Story & Design

Me, Creative Director, Designer, and frequent Copywriter rolled into one creative human for Brand & Marketing. True story. Maker and Mentor, always. Community Enthusiast.

I arrived at design to tell stories for brands, solve business problems, and be a student of brilliant communication everywhere—visual or verbal. Good design for clients, consumers, customers, cohorts, community, or constituents, and good design for the businesses speaking to them.

My career shepherding nowadays can lead creative from the front as a Driver, and/or help support Brand & Marketing teams as a hands-on Do'er. I make work every day, concept, write, and present ideas forward to our business partners; Founders, Board of Directors, CMOs, SVP/VPs, Brand Marketing, Comms/PR, Heads of Brand, Heads of Design and Marketing, and Program Leads. I help land the budget and produce the work for launch.

Simply put, I make ideas into action that drive results for business.

Thankful for years of building, launching, and re-structuring agency services — in-house or agency teams alike. And given hybrid work vibes, I work in offices, studios, co-working spaces, from home, or remote. Down for travel.
