Living in Oregon offers endless inspiration, from the beautiful scenery to the vibrant creative communities. With an early career foundation in both broadcast journalism and TV advertising, much of my creativity was developed around quick storytelling and connected visual communication. Transitioning into user experience design and large scale design systems, there is an opportunity to combine narrative instincts with a passion for intuitive digital interactions, helping brands and products come to live through thoughtful design and clear user journeys.

Leading the creative has become a natural extension of this path, having the opportunity to guide projects, shape customer journeys and build cohesive experiences across platforms. Projects range from UX design, motion graphics and interactive prototypes to immersive 3D experiences. Whether sketching out early concepts and wireframes, or refining final deliverables, the work is always centered on clarity, customer connection and never ending curiosity.

Raising a son brings its own creative adventure full of discovery, laughter and fresh perspective that often sparks new ideas in unexpected ways. Writing and design children's books is a unique result of this journey. The first book "Shall Cows Ski?" was simply a way for our son to learn how to say his last name through wonder, rhyme and imagination. Every year since, he gets a new book on his birthday. These are getting more difficult each year and it's almost time to start writing chapter books!

Away from the screen, time is rooted in family. We like to travel, go on hikes, even paddle board from time to time. We are also connected with Make-A-Wish Oregon, where I find time to volunteer whenever possible. What an incredible organization!
