Equal parts left brain and right brain

Most people are either left-brain or right-brain thinkers . . . not me. In fact, my left brain is in a constant battle with my right for control over my every mental move. But this trait has served me well. It means I can visualize information and then apply a logical strategy to bring it to life. I can see the big picture as clearly as the individual details needed to execute it.

Learning and solving are two of my favorite things

I thrive on identifying the problem and then figuring out the solution. Discovering new ways to do things better, faster and easier. Taking thoughts and ideas and helping shape them into something more. Simplifying the complicated. There are few things more inspiring than learning something and then using it to transform your work…or your life.

I have a lot of experience

For more than 20 years, I’ve developed a proven track record as a graphic designer, writer, critical thinker and creative leader with a unique and intuitive ability to integrate business needs with customer empathy — but I’m not what you’d call a typical “creative” personality. While I love to create things that look as great as they function, I also thrive within a linear and disciplined process. Want an eye-catching presentation? Sign me up. Need help building a successful user experience, step by step? I’m all in for that, too. I excel at developing strong relationships with internal and external clients, including those at the senior level. I know how to build and inspire a Creative Services team. I can prioritize the work, delegate the work, and do the work while staying within the budget – and the deadline.
