I’m an award-winning brand and creative leader with more than 15 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations turn complex ideas into clear, compelling stories.

My career has taken me from international nonprofits to the U.S. National Science Foundation, with work spanning brand strategy, visual identity, creative direction, science communications, digital engagement, campaigns, publications, and design systems. I’m at my best where strategy and creativity meet: finding the story that matters, understanding the audience we need to reach, and building the visual and verbal experience that connects the two.

I’m also a designer at heart. I believe strong brands are more than logos and guidelines. They are systems that should feel distinctive, useful, and human wherever people encounter them. I’ve built and evolved brand standards, developed visual and iconography systems, led designers and creative partners, and created high-visibility work across digital, print, events, and public-facing campaigns.

Much of my career has been dedicated to organizations working in science, conservation, public service, and other causes I genuinely care about. That has shaped how I approach creative leadership. I value thoughtful strategy, accessible design, meaningful storytelling, and a clear understanding of what we want an audience to think, feel, or do.

Along the way, my work has earned recognition from the Hermes Creative Awards, MarCom Awards, IDA Design Awards, and others. I also hold certifications and advanced training in Section 508 accessibility and strategic communications.

After 15+ years, I still love the same part of the work: taking an idea that matters and finding the most meaningful way to make other people care about it, too.
