I currently serve as the VP & CCO of Element One Design. I have over fifteen years of visual communication experience. My creative vision plays an integral role in our client’s success stories.

I developed an eye for functional design, clean layout and white space within Marshall University's Art Program. I expanded my background in typography, art history and persuasive messaging while studying amidst my peers in Shepherd College’s progressive liberal arts ecosystem.

I served as the Marketing Director for a large printing and distribution company in Jacksonville, Florida. While working as the Director of Creative Strategy for a successful Sarasota based agency, I developed a deep understanding of best practice across both the product and service based marketing fields.
