I have 15 years of experience working in the design field in a variety of disciplines: graphic design, photography, video. I excel in working through the entire creative process with a client or internal department, hearing what they want and exceeding their expectations. Working as an in-house creative in the non-profit sector and working with startups has helped me discover ways to create effective marketing materials on a tight budget. I am always up for learning new skill sets and thrive on new challenges.
