CREATIVE APPROACH

I’m the most analytical designer you’ll ever met. Seriously, have you ever met a designer whose favorite subject was math?

Design is so much more than what meets the eye. It is the synthesis of form and function. It’s a puzzle that attracts attention, conveys information and accomplishes a goal.

Design is about how you think.

How can we design strategically? How do we collaborate inclusively? How can we work efficiently? How can we present convincingly?

Everything problem requires a creative solution.

My energetic, restless and optimistic perspective propels a constant mission to apply creative problem-solving to the highest-level brand ideation, to internal folder structure, and everything in between. It’s guided me through my personal career from Designer to Art Director. It’s consistently provided opportunities that challenge me and expand my expertise. And most importantly, it’s the rally cry I use to empower my team and the measuring stick I evaluate against.

Think creatively. Design creatively. Communicate creatively. 

And, of course, make it beautiful, too.
