DESIGN DIRECTOR &
CREATIVE MANAGER

With 9+ years of design experience, I have had the fortune of working with exceptionally talented people from both the agency and the client side—I work across a diverse client base ranging from boutique venture capital firms to global giants. I have been part of an award-winning team (for multiple creative/ingenious deal of the year awards) as a multidisciplinary designer and creative manager. While I have a personal focus on creating pitch decks—visual storytelling through corporate strategies, data driven analysis, and scenario planning for new business acquisitions—I also have an extensive and broad background working with legendary commercial real estate partners from the largest cities coast-to-coast.

The Power of People.
The Power of Placemaking.

I take a people-centered approach to design. Having lived in major growing cities across the country, each city and market with its own history, character, and uniqueness—Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley—I have experienced the transformative effects of the “Live. Work. Play.” built environments. It is the wealth of diversity and my personal experiences and connection to each growing community that continue to inspire and drive my passion for placemaking for our future generations. Placemaking encourages neighborhood advancements including, but not limited to environmental, operational, and cultural improvements, and creates a special, connected space that is accessible to the community.

Real estate is undergoing a dramatic transition: most recently, I have been working with bespoke clients to communicate, collaborate, and deliver initial project proposals to final products and all other needs with integrity and excellence. From my experience working cross-functionally with team members and external parties and partners, I have developed a wide range of skillsets from creative design conceptualization to project and team management to mastery of technical skills which allow for cost saving solutions for my clientele.
