Over the past two decades, my experience as a designer and creative director has spanned a wide range from app and web product design, to broadcast/print campaigns, to content strategy and social media integration. I’ve focused my career on producing great work both in-house, and at some of the best ad and design firms in Atlanta, Toronto, Boston and Chicago. My work has been recognized by the top award shows and annuals, both nationally and locally. In addition, I have a second BFA in interior architecture, and have practiced as an interior designer in Chicago. Currently, I am the Lead Product Designer with The Weather Channel’s flagship iOS app.
