I’ve been working as a creative and marketing professional for over 17 years, during which I’ve held several different roles in a variety of environments. I don’t just consider myself an art director, but an all-things brand director. I have designed for a wide range of mediums, including web, mobile, video, print and television. In addition, I have expanded my experience into the marketing and social media side, gaining experience working in a small startup.

Currently, I work for two companies simultaneously: Rope Hounds and What’s Ahead. They are both small companies where I have the pleasure of wearing several hats. When something needs done that involves creative, marketing, product design, eCommerce, and more, I take care of it! Working with a small company allows me the opportunity to do more than just design, I build from start to finish. I start by creating the sales and marketing plans, and then see those plans through to completion by being the designer, copywriter, social media manager, eCommerce lead, and more.

Prior to my current role, I had my own freelance business and worked in the marketing department at Walmart Stores, Inc. Both of these roles allowed me to greatly expand my design experience in different ways. My freelance time allowed me to explore my creative style while working on a multitude of different projects. While working at Walmart allowed me to understand the importance of a strong brand, how to keep the brand strong, and how to design to your target audience.

In my free time you will pretty much find me out on a bicycle somewhere. Mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel – you name it, I love it. The exploration of Arkansas on bicycles allows my mind to wander, to think, and to create.
