In My Own Words

With over twelve years of experience in graphic design and art direction, I am passionate about creating compelling and distinctive visual identities for brands that resonate with their customers and values. As the Senior Art Director at Ghurka, a heritage brand of luxury leather goods, I lead the design team in developing and executing the branding, marketing, and e-commerce strategies that showcase the craftsmanship, quality, and story of the products. I also collaborate with the product development and merchandising teams to ensure the design aesthetic and vision are consistent across all channels and platforms. Prior to joining Ghurka, I was the Senior Art Director at Foundations Worldwide, Inc, where I managed the design and production of print and digital materials for the global leader in educational furniture and equipment. I also worked as a Senior Graphic Designer at JONES DAY®, one of the world's largest law firms, where I designed and delivered high-impact presentations, proposals, and publications for a variety of legal services and practices. I have extensive skills in Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, as well as a keen eye for typography, color, and layout. I am always eager to learn new techniques, tools, and trends in the design industry, and to challenge myself to produce innovative and engaging solutions that meet the needs and goals of the clients and the organization. I am driven by the mission of creating beautiful and functional designs that inspire, inform, and delight.
