I truly believe that design can change the world. Where systematic thinking meets storytelling, and emotional intelligence drives results; I am driven to craft memorable brand experiences that create meaning and value for the new connected world.
With 15+ years of relevant experience in digital marketing, advertising, brand development, and application design, I am constantly striving to stretch and strengthen the passion, purpose and potential in myself and my team. Never deep enough into the consumer, educated enough in the business, expert enough in the tools of our trade, or far enough ahead of the competition to rest.
My career began in NYC where I worked for Sony Music, Radical Media and Razorfish. Razorfish provided me the inspiration, experience and opportunities to accelerate my growth in the digital space. I was an essential part of design teams for Mercedes-Benz (2.5 yrs), Smart (1.5 yrs), Ford and Lincoln (2 yrs). Had the special opportunity to partner with NBC and Fox on branding, digital marketing and platform design for the initial launch of Hulu. Other clients included: A&E, American Red Cross, CNN, EMC, Merrill Lynch, MetLife, Starwood, TED, Terra (Brazil), XM Radio & more.
After 15 years in NYC, my career brought me to Nashville to help spearhead, lead and grow the digital team and capabilities at The Buntin Group. From there, I headed to Wannado (small agile team of 6), leading creative, UX/UI and experience efforts for the entertainment/ technology startup. At redpepper, I was design lead across an array of agency work for clients such as Deloitte, Verizon, Mars, Hootsuite, Vanderbilt, Digital Reasoning and more.
I just completed my time at Barefoot Proximity where I creatively lead the Elanco Portfolio (B2B/B2C pet wellness and pharma) US and Global, formerly led all creative for ExxonMobil B2B Global portfolio (Chemical, Basestocks, Marine, Aviation and Industrial), and additional experience creative for P&G, Mars and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Work includes strategy, site design, CRM programs, application design, print collateral, global digital marketing, social, trade shows, video and omni-channel campaigns.
I love what I do. I am an incredibly empathic individual and I believe this empathy is what helps me target, connect and unlock brand experience at the deepest level.
Off the clock you’ll find me chilling with my pup (Sawyer bear), gigging around town (singer-songwriter), consuming condiments (crazy passionate) and drinking iced coffee year round :)
