I'm an award-winning Graphic Designer and Production Designer with 26 years of experience supporting agencies, corporate marketing teams, and enterprise brands. Throughout my career, I've built a reputation for stepping into fast-paced creative environments, learning established brand systems quickly, and producing high-quality work that keeps campaigns moving forward.
My experience spans everything from high-volume campaign rollouts and day-to-day marketing production to large-format environmental graphics, experiential installations, print production, digital assets, packaging, signage, vendor coordination, and prepress. I've had the opportunity to support organizations ranging from Caesars Entertainment and Ramsey Solutions to professional sports venues, universities, hospitality brands, and corporate marketing teams.
I genuinely enjoy the production side of design—the work that requires organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage hundreds of moving pieces without sacrificing quality. Whether it's adapting assets across multiple formats, preparing production-ready artwork, coordinating with print vendors, maintaining brand standards, or jumping into an overloaded creative team, I take pride in making the entire process run more smoothly.
Colleagues know me as someone who is dependable, collaborative, and calm under pressure. I'm just as comfortable working independently as I am integrating into an existing creative department, and I enjoy being the person teams can rely on when deadlines tighten and workloads increase.
