I am an Art Director, Brand Designer and Creative Problem Solver. My greatest strength as a creative is my ability to balance both conceptually driven work with flawless execution. I’ve worked primarily as an in-house marcomm creative on a wide range of globally known consumer-based products. Primary touch points include: CPG, product packaging, trade show design, retail graphics, overseeing product photography as well as developing digital assets and design templates. I thrive in fast-paced environments. I’m able to manage multiple projects of various complexities while meeting aggressive deadlines — all day every day. I’m a confident self-starter as well as a passionate team player. I’m exceptionally fluent in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I have extensive knowledge of print production, project management, and product development launch & lifecycles. I have working knowledge of CGI and 3D rendering capabilities.
I’m a native New Englander, originally from MA and currently living in Providence, RI with my two adopted black cats Phoebe and Nina. I love being outside, especially the South County beaches. I love spin class, yoga, drawing and iPhone photography.
