Whether you’ve come here as a friend, via the behest of one of my expertly-crafted (and extra-convincing) cover letters, or through one of the many online networks I’m a part of, welcome!

So, since you’ve found your way here, you’re probably curious as to what I can bring to your organization. For starters, I have a thorough understanding of the design process, and how it relates to the various marketing, sales, and branding goals of an organization.

I’ve also been fortunate enough to be involved in multiple aspects of marketing and design. Working in several different industries and within both in-house and agency settings has taught me to adapt my skills to best fit the organization I’m working for; a trait that has yielded success over the years.

If your company is searching for someone to focus on one specific area of marketing or design, I can focus my talents to meet your needs. However, if you’re in need of someone with a wide breadth of capabilities to fulfill multiple design and/or marketing functions, I have over five years experience working in similar entrepreneurial roles that have provided me with the necessary qualifications to do so.

You’re here, so you must be interested in hiring me, right? Go ahead and take a look at my current skill set below, download a copy of my résumé, and even contact some of my references to hear for yourself how I’ve made positive changes in their organizations. I look forward to hearing from you!
