SUMMARY
12 years of experience creating and crafting campaigns for major worldwide brands. Beyond bringing creative thinking to my clients, I take pride in providing strong marketing, strategic thinking, storytelling and challenging the status quo.
CORE SKILLS
Pitching & Presenting
Ideas go nowhere if you can't sell them. I've learned this early on in my career and continue to enjoy this process. It’s not just about things looking pretty, it’s about how and why we are communicating our product/brand to people. The more we understand how it works, the more businesses and marketing efforts will improve.
Leadership
I believe a leader helps to direct resources for improved efficiency and the achievement of goals in the team and overall success in the agency/business. Making a collaborative environment so everyone has a voice and point of view of the work.
Art Direction
Extensive experience creating visual language and design systems across various digital/print media. Able to direct and lead designers, motion designers, developers, illustrators and photographers.
Idea Generation
Channel collaborative, idea generation, concepts and strategy
lead to the creation of strong visual communications
and experiences for clients.
Communication
Confident and articulate verbal communication skills presenting
to clients and leading teams while building relationships.
