At the intersection of experience, skills, and creativity, you’ll find sound decision-making backed by years in a variety of industries, the vision to craft authentic narratives that resonate, and the practical knowledge to execute that vision across multiple channels.
ABOUT ME
I’m a creative marketing professional with an extensive background in web and graphic design, content creation, and video production, uniquely qualified to tackle diverse projects.
I specialize in customizing WordPress beyond native functionality. I leverage my extensive experience in both design and front-end development to solve problems and increase efficiency. I excel at turning broad concepts into multi-channel campaigns under tight deadlines.
I’m open to short term projects as well as full-time, remote or Chicago-area hybrid roles.
PORTFOLIO
ORIGINS
Born in Chicago and raised in Hawaii, I am defined by the unique experiences of my unconventional upbringing. Growing up surrounded by stunning landscapes and a vast ocean fueled my creativity and shaped my outlook on life. Immersed in a world where I observed cultures and traditions that were not my own, I learned to appreciate the richness of diversity and the value of embracing different perspectives. This exposure to different ways of thinking and living shaped me into a curious and open-minded lifelong learner, always eager to embrace new challenges and seek out solutions.
Growing up in Hawaii exposed me to a community of adventurous people who were drawn to the island’s untamed spirit. As a child, I couldn’t fully grasp the impact they were making on my life. Looking back, I feel honored to have spent my formative years in the company of such remarkable individuals. Surrounded by people who embodied the spirit of exploration and intellectual curiosity, I developed an openness to change, an understanding of the importance of empathy, and an appreciation for the value of human connection.
