About

My experience includes logo design and redesign, partnering with engineers on package innovation and new silhouettes, new launch designs and re-stages, with a flare for typography and color matching across all materials. A problem solver by nature, I like to engage the creatively curious which has enabled intelligent design solutions, that are on point with concept and within budget. My designs have increased sales and saved companies valuable time while being recognized by industry leaders.
