My career is defined by a unique intersection of high-level brand strategy, entrepreneurial leadership, and a deep-seated commitment to the transformative power of higher education. With over 20 years of experience leading creative teams and managing complex enterprises, I bring a sophisticated understanding of how visual identity and strategic storytelling drive institutional growth.
Beginning my career in the corporate sector, I mastered the art of managing major brand relationships and navigating the fundamentals of fiscal management. As a long-time business owner, I have moved beyond mere aesthetics to develop long-range strategic plans and manage complex budgets. I understand that effective design at a premier institutions must be both visionary and sustainable, aligning creative output with overarching organizational goals.
I believe that design is a bridge between an institution and the communities it serves. Demonstrated by my ability to build vital partnerships and foster ecosystems of support for diverse stakeholders. This experience has sharpened my ability to cultivate philanthropic support by creating compelling narratives that resonate.
My background as a university educator gives me a "ground-level" perspective on the evolving landscape of higher education. Having secured grants for technology-forward curricula and served on high-level search committees I am deeply well-versed in shared governance and collaborative leadership. I thrive in environments where innovation is balanced with tradition, and I am eager to leverage my multifaceted expertise to elevate visual and strategic impact.
Thank you!
