Where I've Been
My professional journey began as a graphic designer specializing in motion graphics and animation. A shift in my interests came when I became a mother, leading me to explore creative projects on a broader scale.
Driven by curiosity, I streamlined project workflows and alleviated bottlenecks within the agency where I worked, significantly improving operations. I designed and implemented a comprehensive system that ensured efficient use of creative resources.
I then led a major rebranding project for the agency, overseeing it from conceptualization to implementation across systems and processes. I taught the new brand guidelines to the staff, ensuring smooth adoption, and spearheaded the external marketing communications to promote our new identity and business goals.
Through these transitions, from design to operations to marketing and sales, I developed a holistic view of business. I discovered my passion for understanding how different disciplines work together like an ecosystem. This perspective is something I deeply enjoy and am excited to bring into my work with budding businesses.
Now, I am ready to leverage my broad agency knowledge to help small businesses and startups thrive. As a Creative Strategist, I’m passionate about creating strong identity structures and systems that align with a business's direction, driving growth with authenticity and purpose.
