As a Senior Art Director I apply my 10+ years of experience and my BFA in Graphic Design to create and implement world-class design solutions and marketing strategies for diverse clients. I lead ideation and graphic strategy and build out for full 360 campaigns across digital, print, and out-of-home platforms, bringing the creative vision to life with innovative and compelling designs. I collaborate closely with clients, account managers, copywriters, and production teams to exceed client expectations and deliver high-quality creative solutions in the fast-paced media industry. Some of my recent achievements include art directing a large digital New Year's video campaign for TikTok in Times Square, which received massive engagement, and working with brands such as Western Digital, Disney, Easterseals, and Synapse. My passion for elevating ideas through design and marketing drives my mission to create impactful and memorable experiences for audiences and customers.
