Designer

Profile

 

BACKGROUND & EXPERIENCE

I have enjoyed a diverse career in design, gaining experience in branding, graphic design, and architectural interiors. My work has included collaboration with a variety of clients in the private and public sectors – ranging from the corporate world to civic and academic projects, among other industries.

A childhood interest in architecture led me to pursue a career designing built environments. I have been fortunate to work on award-winning projects, partnering with talented multi-disciplinary teams. Along the way, my interests and project responsibilities came to include 2D elements – graphic design and brand development.

I have worked within architectural design firms and an in-house corporate creative team, as well as operated as an independent designer. In each instance, I have gained invaluable experience leading projects of all sizes toward success. With the benefit of this well-rounded background, I am able to bring an holistic perspective to projects that strengthens the work I do for each client.

Regardless of the setting or the design challenge, my approach is consistent: to work in a collaborative and thoughtful way, listening to the needs of my client to develop creative solutions that they love.

(LITTLE) KNOWN FACTS

I have a woefully neglected blog.

My favorite museums are the Hirshhorn Museum, National Gallery of Art (East or West Wing, depending on my mood), and the National Museum of African American History & Culture (thoughtful architecture and engaging exhibits).

I am currently based in Nashville, Tennessee, but I have also lived in Washington, D.C., Alaska, and Virginia. And, despite being a native of Colorado, I am unabashedly ignorant about downhill skiing.
