I began my career in 1993 at Good Design and have since worked in some of the top design and advertising shops in Dallas, Texas, such as SullivanPerkins and DDB. I am currently a Senior Art Director for Pier 1 Imports.

I have conceptualized and implemented design solutions for entire marketing campaigns, art directed photo shoots, developed corporate identity package systems, catalogs, brochures, direct mail campaigns, environmental design, packaging, point-of-purchase signs, annual reports, websites, email templates, social media branding and more.
I understand the importance of design aesthetics, practical color theory, print and digital production, and printing procedures. These five areas are keys to the development and visual statement of a brand.
Over the course of my career, I have collaborated with internal and external business partners. I have also taken a hands-on approach in motivating and directing all points of the creative team to help bring creative concepts to fruition.
I am also an effective team player – thoroughly accustomed to performing in deadline-driven environments with an emphasis on scheduling and creative-budget estimating.
I seek to energize brands through visual design, message placement, and engagement in both print and digital platforms.
