Success comes from partnering with a creative leader who understands how to make your vision come to life. My passion is collaborating to deliver visual messaging that meets your needs and drives results.
I am a design problem solver. I partner with clients to maximize their reach and revenue. I am a Creative Director, a Graphic Designer, a Marketer, a Photographer, and much more.
With nearly two decades of creative experience, enriching clients’ innovative projects in the Fortune and Global 500, local charities, and everywhere in between, I find dynamic solutions to the organization’s marketing and design challenges.
My design skills are multi-faceted. If my client needs me to create a logo, I will. A marketing campaign, brochure, catalog, or direct mailer, done. Shoot and edit a video, absolutely.
I am currently Marketing Manager with Wintrust Financial Corporation. Wintrust is a $50 billion community bank headquartered in the Chicago suburbs with over 170 locations in four states. During my tenure with the firm:
