West Hartford, Connecticut
I’m a marketing director turned creative freelancer, bringing together strategy, design, and copywriting to help businesses grow with campaigns that are visually sharp, brand-safe, and results-driven. Over the last decade, I’ve directed digital marketing and creative operations across nonprofit, corporate, and entrepreneurial sectors. At MEAction, I built and scaled a global social media presence, leading campaigns that drove advocacy, fundraising, and community engagement. At TLP Ventures, I created governance tools like a “Safe to Post” ad checklist and a visual guide for ad creators, streamlining workflows and ensuring compliance across campaigns. At the helm of a seven-figure Amazon arbitrage business, I led sales and marketing strategy, designing product imagery, optimizing listings, and delivering creative assets that boosted conversions and revenue. Along the way, I’ve developed deep expertise in brand identity, creative QA, and performance marketing. On the production side, I’m hands-on with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and vector design—specializing in logo redraws, scalable brand assets, and image cleanup. I bridge the gap between creative execution and marketing strategy: whether it’s producing polished vectors, auditing ad creative for compliance, or crafting copy that converts, I deliver work that’s fast, organized, and effective. What I can do for you: Vector illustration, logo redraws, and scalable design assets Ad compliance reviews & creative QA (“safe to post” audits) Social media and digital ad strategy (Meta, Google, TikTok) Copywriting for ads, product listings, and brand campaigns Export packs, campaign visuals, and landing page assets Clients work with me because I combine big-picture strategy with detail-driven design execution. I don’t just make things look good—I make sure they work.
