I am a Los Angeles based creative focusing on Art Direction in the realms of digital and graphic design, working the agency life at Omnicom Production, formerly Designory, in Long Beach for the past several years. I work closely with my team on new business and various clients but my bread and butter has been helping to grow the creative work and 360 campaign production across the many Amazon divisions we produce content for.
I am a people person first who loves to figure out and express what makes everyone around me feel through design, art and creative movement. Whether it be my team or my clients I am constantly working towards efficient and direct communication and discovering ways to help improve our creative processes by sharing my experience with and learning from others. I work between large scale brands and individual clients, and hold personal design projects near and dear to my heart. Exploring both the end goal driven and process lead paths of creativity is a duality that I strive to maintain to be able to think with agility between different environments and tasks.
I hail from Sedona AZ, Growing up in such a naturally wondrous and visually stunning place had a profound impact on my creative output, lending a sense of the organic and lifelike to my work. I enjoy working with my hands, incorporating many hand illustrated and drawn items into my work flow. I received a BFA in Visual Communication at Northern Arizona University, with an emphasis in Graphic Design and a minor in Spanish. I started my professional career as an intern with Designory and in less than four years worked my way to the role of Senior Art Director, working across many different clients such as Nissan, Audi, Seagate, Bosch eBikes Systems, Kinecta Credit Union and currently Amazon, as well as taking on internal and pitch work.
Aside from my time in design, I am an avid tea connoisseur who frequents the dance floor often and loves to go on many an outdoor adventure with my dog. My community and movement are my greatest sources of inspiration. Exploring the food scene around me is a full time hobby, and my favorite way to relax is to open a good old fashioned book. I am always eager to make new friends and colleagues, and experince something new. As I love to say, I will always try anything at least once. Cheers!
