Ponderer. Promoter. Creator. Team Player.

​

I have more than fifteen years of experience as a designer, marketer, and project manager, with a background spanning higher education, arts organizations, and creative businesses. My experience includes serving as a Project Manager for the Sweetwater Family of Businesses and as Director of the Purdue Fort Wayne Community Arts Academy, where I led marketing, programming, communications, and creative initiatives that supported community engagement and organizational growth.

​

I am fluent in Adobe Creative Suite applications, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Express, basic HTML coding, WordPress CMS, and video editing in Premier Pro. I consistently generate a wide range of visual and conceptual solutions to creative challenges and pride myself on being flexible, collaborative, and deadline-driven. I am proficient in troubleshooting all technical aspects of print and web design production and experienced in creating and optimizing content for digital platforms and social media.

​

Throughout my career as a graphic designer, marketer, and project manager, I have had the opportunity to work with inspiring nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and arts communities. These organizations include Purdue University Fort Wayne, Overture Center for the Arts (Madison, WI), The Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust (Chicago, IL), Groundwire.org (Seattle, WA), Telluride School for the Arts (Telluride, CO), Telluride Film Festival, Buskirk Chumley Theater (Bloomington, IN), The Wisconsin Film Festival, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

​

My work combines strategic communication, visual storytelling, and project leadership to help organizations strengthen their identity, expand their reach, and connect meaningfully with their audiences. I am especially passionate about collaborative environments where creativity, communication, and purpose come together to support growth and community impact.
