Bringing ideas to life through strategic creativity and purposeful storytelling.

Before joining DIU’s Communications team in October 2024, I served as an Art Director at Freeman, a global event agency known for transforming brand guidelines into immersive, high-impact live experiences. Prior to that, I was the Design Director at Zonda, where I led design operations for the Media division. In that role, I oversaw creative workflows and quality control across multiple media channels, partnering closely with editorial, events, and marketing teams to ensure brand consistency and excellence.

With more than 20 years of experience, I specialize in building brand identities and executing visual communications across print, digital, and experiential platforms. My work spans publications, marketing campaigns, events, and multi-channel creative initiatives. I've partnered with notable organizations including AARP, CACI, FreemanXP, INOVA, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Washingtonian, Wolf Trap, and many others. From concept through execution, I create strategic, visually compelling solutions that bring brands to life, delivering meaningful impact and award-winning results.

My work has been recognized by the Society of Publication Designers, Folio, GDUSA, ASME, the Jesse H. Neal Awards, and others. When I’m not designing, you can usually find me on a long run along the local trails—it’s where I reset and refuel creatively.

If you’d like to talk through any opportunities, I’d love to connect.
