Creative Director currently specializing in UX & UI design for financial institutions. My experience spans multiple industries, audiences, and both digital and traditional media, giving me a broad perspective on solving complex design challenges. With experience on both the agency and client side—including roles at two Omnicom agencies and two Fortune 100 companies—I bring a balanced approach that combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. I specialize in building and evolving brands through user-centered design, usability testing, omni-channel campaigns, and cohesive brand systems that connect business goals with customer needs.
