About Me
I can get it done solo, but I thrive in a team. I can zoom out for the strategic view, but have the skills to deliver. I can leverage AI tools, but bring a uniquely human touch. I can captivate an audience, but I excel behind the scenes. I'm adept with Adobe Creative Cloud software, but am expert at working with creative teams to bring projects to life. Check out some of my recent portfolio below - but know that much of my output is covered by NDA - so we should probably talk.
