I have led cross-functional teams of 20+ designers, motion artists, and creative professionals, overseeing large-scale, multi-channel marketing initiatives and recurring creative projects from concept through execution. I drive project management, resource planning, creative strategy, and team performance while collaborating closely with marketing, sales, and account teams to deliver high-quality work on time. By leading through example, mentoring team members, and fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture, I consistently coach, motivate, and develop talent while ensuring exceptional creative output and business results.

I excel at translating complex creative strategy and design concepts into clear, actionable insights for clients, business partners, executive leadership, and cross-functional teams. Whether presenting to individuals or large groups, I communicate creative direction with confidence, ensuring alignment among stakeholders regardless of their background or familiarity with design and advertising. My ability to bridge the gap between creative and business objectives fosters collaboration, builds trust, and drives successful marketing and branding initiatives.

I lead the onboarding and development of all incoming designers, establishing the foundation for both company-specific workflows and design best practices.

I also play a key role in cross-functional training with strategy and project management teams, strengthening collaboration, improving operational efficiency, and aligning creative execution with business objectives.

I believe exceptional creative is built on strategic thinking, a deep understanding of a brand, and genuine insight into consumer behavior. I develop creative concepts rooted in business objectives and audience research, writing shot lists and storyboards to guide the production of high-impact marketing assets across digital, social, and video campaigns. I also build targeted audience segments, develop media budgets, and collaborate on campaign strategy to ensure creative is delivered efficiently, reaches the right customers, and drives measurable business results.

This diverse background allows me to develop cohesive brand experiences across both traditional and digital channels.
