Communication Design

With twenty years as a design professional — leading most major types of collateral from concept through completion — I balance an inspired aesthetic sense with clear messaging and audience engagement. I have advanced skill with Adobe CC and am versed on current web techniques and video technologies.

If you need a brand ambassador who values accessibility and inclusion, I'm available for marketing and communications projects, independently and as part of a creative team.
