I am more than what I do for a living. And all of that is what defines me, and is the real magic of having me on your team and apart of your organization.

But I get it, you are here to learn about my professional experiences.

It all started with one special internship at Peter Mayer, after I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans' Graphic Design program, that launched what is now my 9 year career.

While at Peter Mayer I learned invaluable lessons about designing for big brands, creating process to create efficiency, building file organization foundations that create ease, working extreme volume, stewarding brands, and so much more, and that was all within the first two years.

I worked on a spectrum of clients, ranging from brands like Zatarain’s, designing campaigns and digital experiences to Centurylink, the largest telecommunications company in the US.

From there I segued to a role as sole designer for a 15,000 attendee festival, designing every experience from large format signage, print programs, designing stage graphics, animation intros and so much more. There were over 300 unique pieces created for the initial festival.

In my current role as the creative director of The National WWII Museum, I established the foundation for the work, and workflow we are able to maintain to this day. Building file structures, naming conventions, style guides, and all of the creative alongside a small team of incredible people. This work, and the stories we get to share with the world, are incredible.

In the midst of it all, my best friend and I founded of Scout, an intentional design duo. Our business is rooted in cultivating intentional experiences that allow your product, your business, to simply perform. We create solutions for brands, and entities ranging from logo design, print collateral, social media to website design and digital advertising.

All that to say, I am my happiest at any organization, empowering and supporting a team, bridging communication gaps, establishing relationships, creating efficiency, and being trusted to do what I know how to do best.

my special skills

 

supporting the whole team

In every role that I have fulfilled, my greatest impact, next to the work, lies within the hearts of those I work alongside and nurture along the way.

design thinking > any problem

I am passionate about solving any problem, within any constraints. It brings me pure joy to create digestible products and experiences.

communication aficionado

Have you ever worked on a project and it felt like no one was speaking the same language to each other? I love creating flow, so that everyone can better understand each other and our collective goals.

continuous evolution

I am always looking for ways to streamline, learn something knew, improve existing products and grow.
