    "Creativity is nothing but the way to solve new problems." A data-driven creative, I have spent my career building dynamic, creative capabilities across multiple start-up organizations. With more than 15+ years of experience across sectors, I bring a breadth of understanding around delivering consumer-driven, user-first experiences through digital storytelling, integrated marketing, and website and mobile design. Working in startups and small in-house departments, I have built, defined, scaled, and accelerated strategic creative services across organizations. As a people-first creative and people manager, I lead in the same way that I build–through collaboration. I've spent almost a decade in higher education, positioning the benefits and transformative experience individuals can have when they earn a degree. While education is usually perceived as "aspirational," in the end it is product marketing. It's a commodity that someone can choose to pursue, based on desired needs and aspirations. The storytelling around a graduate program is how someone understands it actually can be the right choice for them. I've spent my career understanding user needs, motivations, and obstacles. I leveraged the marketing insights and data and analytics to incorporate all those components into my creative strategies to ensure that a userfirst experience, translates into a completed "purchase" or enrollment. With an adept background in conversion, CRM, and brand development, I recognize that in order to accelerate a capability, you must first educate, align, and build transparency with the team. Communication is not only important but also paramount. Understanding how to articulate technology and design requirements and translate back and forth between a development and design team helps to build clear transparencies, improve efficiencies, and allow cross-functional growth and development. Building transparencies through communication enables proficiency in building continuity of experience, and builds greater potential for success. I manage how I practice. I invest a lot of time really getting to know my people. I manage my teams with the motto that the best managers are practitioners; those that continue to challenge themselves to learn and create more. I believe in the power and impact of constructive criticism and recognize that my own work can evolve with the input of my team. I believe that at the core of design is people. People–whether your client, your team, your audience, your stalk holder, or your boss–are the building blocks to great design. With extensive experience across publications, lifestyle brands, education, and highly regulated sectors, I am adept at leading teams to build strategic digital experiences that increase brand awareness, and lead generation, and optimize conversion efforts, while keeping the users’ needs at the forefront.

    I have spent my career strengthening the correlations between business strategies and the planning, design and management of work environments; and have focused on expanding our understanding of the breadth and depth of what workplace strategy can do for organizations and their workers. My particular passion is to share knowledge, insights, tools and experiences that help workplace strategists to develop more relevant and effective humancentric work-enabling strategies. Most recently, I led Allsteel's Workplace Advisory team and a key element of the company's research, mining science-including Jeff Leitner's work on Unwritten Rules and Advanced Workplace Associates' research into Knowledge Worker Productivity-for insights into the effectiveness of work environments. In partnership with other talented workplace strategists, I have taught CoreNet Global's workplace strategy-specific MCR classes since 2009. Over the last decade and more I also co-developed the core competencies that define workplace strategies and co-created and now lead periodic updates to the structure and content of CoreNet Global’s three MCR.w courses.

    My expertise lies in building compelling brand strategies that exceed expectations. My marketing foundation at established brand organizations such as Colgate and Coty enable me to establish sound awareness and engagement principles. I pair these with the experiences I gained working in more nimble marketing organizations at emerging/startup brands to develop plans that are not only grounded in proven strategies but also nimble enough to be executed with limited resources. I have delivered exceptional experiences that exceed goals by carefully crafting strategic plans that are deeply rooted in insights and the voice of the consumer. My success shows through a portfolio of award-winning products and experiences that have experienced double digit growth. I have a proven track record of success in defining brand visions, crafting value propositions, and creating compelling visual identities. By leveraging data-driven customer insights, I have developed effective retention programs and led innovation roadmaps.
