As a highly accomplished Creative Director with over 30 years of experience, I specialize in creative problem-solving and navigating through challenging environments. I have a proven ability to adapt and pivot easily and am also adept at managing projects through significant disruptions, including Hurricane Katrina, the COVID-19 pandemic and, of course, New Orleans’ weather! Known for creating innovative and cost-effective solutions across print, digital, environmental and event graphics, I am an intuitive visionary who thrives on brainstorming. I am originally from Dothan, Alabama, (The Peanut Capital of the World!), and a graduate of the University of Alabama and the Portfolio Center, with concentrations in advertising, marketing, art and creative direction. I have been blessed to called New Orleans home for almost 30 years and love creating in this amazing place!
