Thank you!
As a creative professional with extensive experience in art direction, I thrive on diversity, originality, and the unexpected. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to lead 360 campaigns and collaborate with top brands, crafting compelling visual narratives that resonate across multiple platforms.
My passion for storytelling and creativity was shaped by an unconventional upbringing—growing up in a home that doubled as a bed-and-breakfast for traveling musicians, giving up my bed for lead singers, and collecting signatures on our pantry door from artists like Folk Soul Revival and Hayes Carll. At 13, I found myself on stage in a bar, playing guitar with a local band—an early testament to my belief in embracing new experiences.
That same adventurous spirit defines my approach to creativity. I don’t just play acoustic guitar; I explore electric and ukulele. I don’t just drive a car; I ride motorcycles. From longboarding to wakeboarding and snowboarding, I push boundaries in both my personal and professional life, always seeking fresh perspectives.
My career path reflects this mindset. Initially drawn to physics, a single journalism class led me to pursue a BA in Public Relations and Advertising from the UNC Hussman School of Media and Journalism, with a minor in Creative Writing. That curiosity drove me to explore poetry, sketch comedy, and ultimately, art direction—where I help brands tell bold, visually compelling stories.
I believe growth comes from stepping outside the familiar. Creativity flourishes when we embrace change and challenge convention. Let’s push boundaries and create something extraordinary together.
