A Creative Journey.
Brand Identity & Design at Nestlé USA — leading the strategic design vision for the pizza, snacking, meals and premium waters divisions. Through years of collaborative experiences with agencies, clients, start-ups, mentoring and in-house brands, I help teams meet their goals. I have contributed to thoughtful and value-driven solutions, both strategic and creative. With a commitment to helping others appreciate and practice Design, it has been my honor to educate and mentor hundreds of visual designers in the pursuit of strategic and creative excellence.
My design and typography work have been recognized with numerous awards, annuals and publications, including: Communication Arts Award of Excellence in Design; CLIO Image; Graphis; PRINT Regional Design; with a feature on FastCo.Design and inclusion in the Adweek Talent 100.
An alumnus of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I received an MFA in Visual Communication. As an employee, freelancer and collaborator, I have had the pleasure of problem-solving and developing creative solutions for many amazing brands, companies and organizations, including: Hot Pockets, DiGiorno, San Pellegrino, Perrier, Stouffer’s, PepsiCo, Sony, Virgin, Disney, United Way, Helmut Lang, Selfridges & Co and Farfetch.
