About
I’m a designer based in Durham, North Carolina, with 20 years of experience working across higher education, non-profit arts, enterprise technology, consumer goods & retail, and agency settings. I excel at brand strategy and digital experience, and I always strive to inject a bit of fun and a lot of top-notch creative thinking into my work.
