A Bit About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary creative specializing in hospitality, with experience spanning creative direction, brand identity, advertising, photography, editorial, packaging and environmental design.

​

I approach brands as complete experiences, thinking beyond a single campaign or design to how a brand looks, feels and connects with people across every touchpoint. My work spans the full creative process, from developing concepts and visual direction to directing photoshoots, building brand systems and carrying ideas through final execution across digital, print and physical spaces.

​

Currently, I’m the Marketing Design Manager & Photographer at Anthony’s Restaurants, where I oversee in-house creative across a portfolio of restaurant brands throughout the Pacific Northwest. My role sits at the intersection of creative strategy, collaboration and hands-on execution. I work closely with our marketing team, company leadership and teams across the organization, while managing external contractors and creative partners across photography, video, design, production and fabrication. I also have experience presenting creative concepts and strategic direction to leadership, stakeholders and our Board of Directors, building alignment around ideas and carrying them through to execution.

​

I incorporate emerging tools, including generative AI, into my creative process when they add value—using them to explore ideas, visualize concepts and expand possibilities while keeping strategy, craft and creative judgment at the center of the work.

​

At the heart of everything I do is storytelling. Whether I’m developing a campaign, behind the camera or shaping a physical experience, I’m always looking for the details that make a brand feel distinctive, cohesive and human.
