For over a decade, I've helped clients unleash their full potential by finding that unique spark that ignites growth, and captures the hearts and minds of their target audience. Whether a client is a business, association, or ballot measure, I combine brand authenticity with data-driven strategy to create digital solutions that not only solve problems, but drive actionable results. It takes curiosity, resourcefulness and strategic thinking to deconstruct the elements of what makes a great customer-focused brand story and leverage it to win for my clients—but once we find your spark, the marketing will flow.
Understanding comes first, everything else follows. Clever creative, focused narrative, impactful visuals, and audience engagement are a result of knowing our clients. I am driven by a deep-rooted intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to respect what makes each client unique. The success I’ve helped create for clients over the past two decades comes from a willingness to thoughtfully tackle the complex and complicated. From global giants like Intel and Nike, to local brands like Moda Health and the Trail Blazers, I work closely with brilliant teams of all sizes, and apply my experience - and our team’s expertise - to successfully deliver on each client’s goals.
Elevate your narrative, bring your vision to life, and amplify your voice. I believe each client is one-of-a-kind with your own story to tell. I am inspired by everything that makes you, you. Let’s work together to tell your community, and the world, who you are and what you do. From crafting a bespoke PR strategy, to navigating crisis communications, to sharpening your image for the next big thing - I am dedicated to utilizing my expertise to ensure your success every step of the way.
I am a creative problem solver ready to take on any challenge. My job is simple: clearly communicate, analyze the problem, and then bring ideas to life with style and skill. In other words, I make our clients look good while visually communicating their message. My expertise encompasses a range of disciplines, including corporate identity, web design, motion graphics, and illustration. Working both as an in-house designer and a freelancer I have a proven track record of success, having collaborated with renowned brands such as Disney, Wizards of the Coast, Summit Racing, and Industrial Finishes.
Stories are powerful. By weaving focused ideas with emotion, we can build a brand story in a way that is authentic, memorable and drives action. Equally important to a great story, is an effective plan. I support Rushlight’s clients by organizing and executing our strategy so client stories have the greatest impact. I also work to make certain that good internal processes drive results. A good story invites the audience to join the narrative journey. I look forward to joining yours.
