ABOUT ME
A native of Athens, Georgia, I've been a lover of all things design since youth. Now with more than 20 years of experience in design, marketing and brand development, I can distill my career purpose down to this:
It is my job to influence an audience to have a reaction– to think, do or feel something. Through a brochure, or packaging, or a website; these are all potentially perfectly curated brand moments.
I'm a passionate studier of trends, an envelope-pusher, a tenacious solver of problems (there's nothing that can't be solved!) and am obsessed with details. Turning a business initiative into a creative strategy, or finding an elegant answer to a complex issue is extremely gratifying, and I absolutely treasure the ability to do all of the above for my clients.
Home is now Savannah, Georgia, where I live with my two labradoodle children, Henri Bendel and Cocoa Chanel.
