About

Since 2006, I have been working in design and direct marketing for small businesses. A unicorn in the design industry, I balance strategic thinking and organization with great design and creative ideas. I am my clients' go-to and act as their in-house marketing team: planning and executing email, text and direct mail marketing campaigns. I am just a phone call away for print materials, digital graphics and web design. I collaborate with digital marketers for google, social media advertising and SEO.

  At Peak, I strategized and designed direct marketing campaigns across several channels including direct mail, email and text. I managed a team of young designers, helping them to develop their skills and gain confidence. I also helped develop a SaaS rewards program for our retail clients. I designed the UX, worked with developers on new features, demo'd the program to new prospects and provided customer service for existing users.
  
  Working at this small company for 11 years gave me the experience I needed to go off on my own with the confidence that I can provide great value for my clients.
