As a seasoned Graphic Designer with over 25 years of experience in producing compelling visuals for multiple media, I am excited about the opportunity to bring my unique blend of creativity and technical skills to your team. My portfolio, which includes designs for major brands such as Leg Avenue, Walmart, Target, Spirit Halloween, and licensed designs for Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and Universal Pictures, demonstrates my ability to deliver effective and engaging graphics that drive interest and sales.

In my last role as Art Director at The Creative Department, I successfully led a team of six junior designers to develop and implement B2B and B2C designs for our client, Optum Medical. I have a proven track record of managing multiple projects simultaneously, meeting tight deadlines, and using my multiple years of experience to solve complex design challenges.

One of my most significant accomplishments was designing a 50’ x 50’ modular tradeshow booth for Leg Avenue. This project required a deep understanding of the target audience and current trends. The manufacturer, had two separate booths, one for costume and one for lingerie tradeshows. These were expensive to ship, assemble, and store during the off-season. I led the team through a thorough research process, conceptualizing and executing a more modern design. The new design allowed a single booth to be used in both capacities. I also added extra storage, a private meeting space, adaptable wall racks, and shelves, two large retail-style storefront windows, a large overhanging logo for added visibility, a branded reception counter, interchangeable adhesive wall graphics, and most importantly the ability to size down to a compact 10’ x 10’ booth. This redesign saved Leg Avenue from having to store multiple booths and gave them the freedom to go to many more tradeshows throughout the year due to its flexible design. This experience demonstrates my strategic thinking and creativity, which I can bring to your team.

I look forward to the possibility of meeting with you and demonstrating my unique blend of creativity, technical skills, and passion for
graphic design.
