I'm a designer, a photographer, and a web developer with over 20 years experience working in online strategy and development, graphic design (digital + print), and leading a talented team of talented creative professionals.

I interact daily with product owners, marketing, fundraising, and IT professionals, improving print products and online services through project planning and development, creative direction, graphic design, UX planning, programming, SEO, e-commerce, social media design, and mobile app projects.

My experience has given me the opportunity to work in both non-profit and for-profit environments, working directly with clients, as well as internal and contract employees to successfully complete projects. I have experience managing the work from initial concept and brainstorming, to the creation of timelines and site flowcharts, copy writing/editing, design, programming, and working with all involved to meet deadlines.

Act as if what you do makes a difference.
It does."

“If it weren't for Jesus, I would not be where I am today and my life would be without purpose.
I've heard kids say they want to be just like me when they grow up.
They should know I want to be just like Jesus.”

– Albert Pujols
