ABOUT ME
I’m a Chicago-based art director and graphic designer with over 14 years of experience creating sharp, professional and unique designs that immediately attract attention and drive responses. Most recently I held the title of “Designer Princess” for more than 12 years at numerous media companies and radio stations. Not that I’m some sparkly tiara, poofy pink dress girl, but because I RULED my projects….and because the title was humorous. It was the best way to combine every role I played, as the in-house graphic designer/art director/producer of almost everything visually creative.
Skilled at developing high-impact brand identities, marketing materials and sales assets. Known for bringing creative concepts to life and having an outgoing, fun attitude. A proven track record of meeting the most demanding deadlines and effectively managing projects across multiple departments in a high-paced work environment.
I have strengths in both digital and print design and production with a passion for event design, photo manipulation and illustration. My style diversity ranges from rock radio to conservative talk radio, edgy shirt designs for Hot Rod Harlot, to charity event designs for Pits for Patriots. Illustrated or photo based, I try to do it all. I can work in a high-demand environment and still find time to cook and entertain, hit up classic car shows, nerd out about beer and cuddle my dogs.
