I believe good design focuses on the user
and helps them
solve problems.

I am a senior art director with over 9 years of experience in designing and building beautiful user experiences for e-commerce sites. I have experience planning and directing photoshoots for products and seasonal products. I design, build and present product description pages for Amazon, Walmart, Target and more. I design storefronts specifically for Amazon. With a passion for collaboration and problem solving I love working with UX strategists, copywriters, project managers, account teams, other art directors and creative directors to come up with great work that works.

In my free time, you can find me hiking and taking photos in the Rockies on the weekends, at a Red Rocks concert (or a concert anywhere for that matter), designing content for my Etsy store, and just enjoying the beautiful outdoors of Colorado.
