  • What I Do

    I am a native Charlottean with more than a decade of professional design and marketing experience. I have worked with companies such as MetLife, Brighthouse Financial, Food Lion, and Sunbelt Rentals.

     

    I dive deep into brand standards to create collateral in the company's (or client's) voice. I am a talented creative designer, team player, and adaptable to change. I am purpose-driven and able to articulate creative design solutions to various levels of stakeholders.
