About:
I’m an Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer with over a decade of experience leading editorial, brand, and marketing design across print and digital platforms.
My work centers on creative direction, clarity, and execution. I lead projects from concept through production, overseeing visual direction, photography, design teams, and production workflows to ensure work is both strategically sound and exceptionally executed.
I currently lead creative and design for Utah Business Magazine at Deseret News, where I oversee high-visibility publications, special projects, and marketing initiatives. My role spans editorial planning, design leadership, stakeholder collaboration, and deadline-driven production—often across multiple projects running simultaneously.
Beyond publications, I’ve partnered with organizations across hospitality, nonprofit, real estate, and service-based industries, delivering brand and marketing work that supports business goals and revenue growth. I’m comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-stakes environments and am trusted to bring structure, calm, and clear decision-making to complex creative challenges.
I bring a strong business perspective to creative leadership, informed by an MBA and years of cross-functional collaboration with editorial, sales, and executive teams. I value thoughtful design, operational clarity, and work that earns trust through consistency and execution.
My work includes directing and designing covers featuring high-profile business leaders, public figures, and nationally recognized individuals.
