Artist Statement
I am an award-winning visual communicator, dream weaver, and all-around creative junkie. I am a seasoned Creative Director, but first and foremost, I am an artist. I visualize designs and then bring those visuals to life by utilizing a multitude of mediums. I am a lover of all things clean and modern, with a unique perspective and focus on aesthetics, form, function, and usability. My work is directly influenced by the principles of the psychology of marketing – the who, what, where, when, and why that lead to the purchases we make. From what we eat to what we wear, there are reasons behind those decisions that ultimately define who we are as individuals. I believe that proper design cannot be limited to pictures and words on a page; proper design evokes emotions that lead to responses, and within those responses is where you will find the difference between good and great design.

My Superpower
My superpower is identifying, creating, and evaluating original ideas, opportunities, and potential solutions in any given situation in order to solve problems. I then inspire and organize others to act on those while helping do the work and being the motivator, encourager, wrangler, and collaborator they need. I apply this superpower to people as well, often seeing strengths, challenges, connections, and means of connecting with them that might go unnoticed and that when tapped into, help them to excel in new ways.
