Let's create something together.

Let's create something together.

I’m currently working as a Lead Art Director in clean energy. I have extensive experience directing creative from ideation and briefing to final deliverables. To do this I’m creating global brand guidelines that allow room for regional, audience-focused activations. I’m working with external partners to direct the creation of visual asset libraries. I get excited about growing other creatives while we build consistent brands together.

In my current position, managing in-house and agency creatives. I’m focused on how we can work together to create distinct and innovative branded content with efficient processes and timelines.
