I am a muti-disciplinary Senior Creative Leader experienced in global brand building across digital, broadcast & video content, print & packaging, in-store environments and events. I use modern ideas, my artistic eye as a photographer, design and technology to bring a strategic vision that inspires teams to craft work that helps to build brand awareness and gain users through compelling storytelling and design.

 

My career spans 20+ years working at the intersection of entertainment, advertising, retail and technology. Along with building multidisciplinary teams at Target’s Brand Studio, entertainment media company Fandom and tech education leader Udemy, I’ve launched award-winning story driven brand experiences and consumer products. I've had the privilege of working alongside a roster of industry leading designers and agencies where I have directed a variety of mediums at studios Twentieth Century Fox, Disney and Dreamworks.

​

I take great pride in my talent for building a diversely inclusive team culture that inspires and motivates everyone to do great work. I believe in fostering trusting relationships by being inclusive, empathetic and creating safe environments. People do remarkable things when they are part of a circle of trust, nothing kills creativity faster than lack of this on a team. Collaboration creates stronger work.

 

I am currently the Sr. Creative Director of Brand for Lakeshore Learning  where I lead an internal creative team of talented designers, art directors, photographers and video producers to express the brand, build awareness and drive engagement as education for our children is something I am passionate about. I reside in Long Beach, CA with my husband, son and our friendly animals where you can usually find me with a camera in hand and the music on.
