An award-winning creative leader with over 15 years of expereince blending editorial storytelling and digital strategy to drive high-impact campaigns across print, digital, and retail platforms. I specialize in leading creative teams to deliver compelling narratives that align with business goals and elevate brand presence.

After earning dual bachelor's degrees in Journalism and Visual Design (with a minor in Photography) from the University of Arkansas, I launched my career at American City Business Journals as a graphic designer. I then expanded my editorial design experience in New York City with Morris Visitor Publications, ultimately leading the way to an Art Director role at Niche Media.

Returning to Dallas, I served as Art Director at D Magazine Partners, overseeing art direction for the executive title D CEO and contributing to D Magazine. I led the creation of D CEO’s first tablet-based edition, redesigned the publication, and managed cross-functional teams to deliver impactful, on-brand visuals—all while refining my project management and editorial skills.

Following that, I took on the role of Lead Photo Art Director for the custom closets division at The Container Store. In this capacity, I led creative initiatives in photography, branding, and marketing materials, collaborating with buying and creative teams to deliver cohesive and compelling brand experiences through advertising, catalogs, social media, and in-store signage.

I currently serve as Design Director at D Magazine Partners, where I continue to drive bold, editorially-driven storytelling and foster collaborative, high-performing creative teams.

Known for my hands-on leadership style, I actively partner with photographers, videographers, and stylists to bring creative visions to life, prioritizing mentorship and a culture of innovation that consistently delivers exceptional results.
