Experience matters. So does staying curious.

Experience matters.
So does staying curious.

I’m a designer, fine artist, and creative leader based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a background in branding and advertising spanning print, digital, retail environments, and events. My role has grown over the years, but my love is still design. I enjoy the process of turning an idea into something people can see, understand, and connect with.

Over time, I’ve learned how much effective design depends on understanding the bigger picture. I want to know what a business is working toward, what’s getting in the way, and how the pieces fit together. Sometimes I’m helping something new get off the ground. Other times, I’m working alongside a client or team to sort through a challenge and get a project moving again.

A lesson that stayed with me.

My uncle owned a billboard company, and I grew up admiring the skill that went into painting each billboard by hand. Watching technology change his industry left a lasting impression on me. It’s part of why I stay curious, embrace new technology, and remain open to different ways of bringing an idea to life.

I enjoy bringing both a broader perspective and hands-on experience to the work. I’m happy helping shape the direction, collaborating with others, or getting into the design details myself. Listening, sharing ideas, and working through the challenges together are often what help a project find its way forward.

Thinking beyond the moment

Design should meet the moment while leaving room for what comes next.

Whether it’s an event, a campaign, or a brand,  I start with the end in mind and build something that can grow, adapt, and still feel relevant years from now.

Design should work today and still make sense tomorrow.
