ABOUT
**Currently, I am an independent creative director and design consultant leading design initiatives for various clients while seeking full-time creative leadership roles within purpose-driven, forward-looking brands. Additionally, I am open to part-time, fractional, contract and creative consulting**
Born and bred in New England, I’m a creative director and compassionate design leader, now rooted in Minneapolis. Trained in both psychology and graphic design, my professional journey is an ongoing quest to examine where the two intersect. Guided by my core values of care, curiosity, and a growth mindset, I strive to make meaningful contributions in every endeavor.
For over 18 years, I’ve led the creative vision at several consumer-loved, mission-driven brands such as The RealReal, Aveda, Brooklyn Public Library and Amazon. As an inquisitive learner, my toolbox expands according to the goals of the project. My impact spans across countless initiatives, including brand design strategy, employee experience, brand marketing campaigns, photo and video art direction, package design strategy, and digital design. Most recently, developing brand identity and digital experience for a food media platform; refreshing brand collateral for an African safari company; design consulting for multi-purpose community space.
I am a curious explorer of art, design, climate and culture, having volunteered for MoMA’s education programs, supported sustainable design efforts at AIGA MN and contributed to the award-winning website Design*Sponge. I would love to bring my expertise to purpose-led, forward-thinking businesses of any size.
