My mind was built to organize, remember and simplify large volumes of information. I use this talent to manage hundreds of projects each year for clients. My creative aptitudes include copywriting and concept development for ads, brochures, websites, TV commercials and social media. I love the challenge of coming up with a new idea or solution and the creative energy that flows during the process.

My design style uses beautiful colors and stunning photos that draw attention and propel viewers to take action. When strategizing with clients, images rapidly come to mind that are fine-tuned and carefully developed to be dynamic, powerful, and functional in the business world. I use my art training and design experience to communicate a company's brand, style and personality.

My personality drives me to provide great client experience as I manage projects. Communicating about deadlines and gathering project details ensure clients are informed and involved. Social media is a passion because it can be personal, even in business applications. I'm results-motivated and always want to know how a campaign performed by monitoring engagement.
