I'm a multidisciplinary designer who helps organizations build awareness and engagement through informative and visually compelling solutions.

I have extensive in-house and agency experience in graphic design, art direction, product design and instruction. I've worked with large international companies, growth stage startups, small local businesses, artists, writers, and non-profit education centers. Along the way, I’ve discovered that people with a passion for their work and an emotional connection to what they do are happier and more successful, and I seek to support that path in my work.

I currently manage the Digital Design Team at PetSafe Brands, a Knoxville-based parent company for several global pet industry brands, including PetSafe, Invisible Fence, Kurgo and SportDOG.

From 2018-2020, I worked as Design Director at Maycreate, a full-service creative agency based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our work ran the marketing and advertising gamut, from brand identity work to web design to omni-channel advertising campaigns.

From 2016-2018, I worked as an in-house creative director with a focus on marketing and product design at Bellhop, a rapidly growing technology startup in the home moving space.

From 2011-2016, I worked as Senior Graphic Designer at Mountain Hardwear, a San Francisco Bay Area outdoor equipment and apparel company focused on pairing a simplified design approach with top-tier technologies, bringing users maximum enjoyment in the outdoors.

From 2000-2011, I served as a designer, letterpress printer and art director at the now legendary Yee-Haw Industrial Letterpress and Design Company in Knoxville, Tennessee.

I’ve led many letterpress printing workshops at San Francisco Center for the Book, and I volunteer regularly at The Open Press, a non-profit letterpress, printmaking and book arts studio in Chattanooga.

I'm always happy to discuss new opportunities and am open to new projects and ideas for collaboration.
