I consider myself extremely lucky. I love my work and relish every challenge. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the largest companies and most recognized brands. My responsibilities have included leading creative teams on brand redesigns, new product launches and line extensions. I’ve also taken on the role of designer, photo art director, photo retoucher and production artist.
Graphic design isn’t solely about creating beautiful images, it’s about problem solving. Smart, targeted design elicits an emotional response and acts as a call to action for the consumer. I especially enjoy the process of creating a point of view through research, competitive audits and trend analysis.
In my free time, I am an avid Minnesota sports fan and accomplished DIYer. I enjoy golfing, spending time with family and friends and playing with my goldendoodle “Mango.”
