Many moons ago, my journey began with a degree in education, where I discovered my passion for teaching and fostering growth and creativity. Eventually, I changed career paths and obtained my next degree in Marketing and Advertising at VCU. Thus began a new journey where I had the pleasure of bringing campaigns to life by creating everything from direct mailers to billboards, and digital ads to commercials. Along the way, web design also played a huge part in my journey as I discovered a love of breathing life back into brands through the digital landscape, while ensuring they were both SEO-friendly and met ADA standards.
In my spare time, I currently serve as Vice President of the Advertising Club of Richmond, where I continue to help foster growth and opportunities for members in our advertising community.
Fun Fact: Back in 2007, I raised over $2,000 for Cancer Research when I shaved my head at the Church Hill Irish Festival (it was much longer back then).
Being a leader in design requires both creativity and strategic thinking. It's my goal to guide my team towards innovative solutions that meet user needs while pushing boundaries.
I've created strong brand identities for many businesses to help distinguish themselves from other brands, create lasting impressions, and achieve their overall goals.
I excel at prioritization, organization, and time management. I am able to communicate effectively, delegate tasks appropriately, and remain calm under pressure.
This is my bread and butter. I've worked on many website designs. From wireframing, to prototyping, to building out. I understand HTML, CSS, SEO as well as ADA Compliance to ensure accessibility for all.
Design is consistently changing and evolving, and I find it important to continuously think of ways to help brands refresh their image without losing who they are as a brand.
Through the creation of Brand Guidelines I've managed numerous brands to help layout the foundation of their identity to ensure consistency across all mediums.
