Professional Experience

For over ten years, I’ve collaborated with design and marketing teams servicing some of the world’s best known brands. I offer a unique mix of creative experience and strategic thinking with proven results in the fashion, merchandising, arts & entertainment, publishing, and corporate industries. I design original campaigns, pitch presentations, POP displays and direct marketing for print and web. Recent work includes a souvenir book and apparel line for An American in Paris on Broadway, marketing for Christian Louboutin, and The Winged Keel Group, and a redesign of MyFamilyTravels.com, called one of “50 essential websites” by Condé Nast Traveler.
