About

“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not’?”  
         -George Bernard Shaw

I am a motivated, innovative Art Director with over 18 years of industry experience. My career is built on a proven record of setting creative direction, building cohesive concepts, and driving multi-million dollar business results for global retail leaders, including Chubbies, JCPenney, Gymboree, and GAP.

I recently completed a nine-year tenure as the creative engine behind surface design and graphics at Chubbies. During my time with this high-growth brand, I directed the full creative lifecycle for major global licenses—including Disney, Marvel, and the NFL—and spearheaded the design and creative leadership for the Dallas Cowboys x Chubbies collaboration.

Education & Roots

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design with a minor in Fashion Merchandising from the University of North Texas. After spending 7 years in San Francisco (2014–2021) & 3 years in Austin (2021-2024) gathering inspiration and design perspective, I have relocated back to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I am thrilled to be back in Dallas and am looking for my next challenge as a creative leader in the DFW design community.

The Freelance Life

In my spare time, I continue to collaborate with smaller companies and individuals on a variety of creative projects, including:

  • Concept Design

  • Print, Graphic & Trim Design

  • Branding & Logos

  • Invitations & Print Material

  • Original Paintings & Drawings

I live each day with the mindset of a continuous learner, always looking for the next opportunity to grow as an artist and a leader.
