I'm a Creative Director and Graphic Designer in Virginia.
I help brands find clarity, tell better stories, and avoid design decisions they'll regret in five years.
I am a Creative Director and brand strategist with two decades of shaping stories, building identities, and leading creative teams. I built and ran an award-winning agency before stepping into higher education, where I now guide the visual and narrative direction of the University of Lynchburg. My work lives at the intersection of clarity, imagination, and community impact. I believe great design does more than look good; it creates belonging, builds trust, and moves people toward possibility.
I lead with clarity, accountability, and a commitment to meaningful creative work. My focus is building teams that communicate well, think strategically, and bring ideas to life with precision and purpose. Curiosity and imagination stay at the core, but they are paired with discipline, structure, and a respect for measurable results. I believe in environments where people feel supported, expectations are clear, and the work reflects both excellence and intention. Growth happens when direction is strong, talent is trusted, and creativity has room to breathe responsibly.
My journey as an Art/Creative Director and Graphic Designer has been marked by a multifaceted approach to addressing challenges. My experiences have exposed me to a myriad of creative dilemmas, each demanding a unique perspective and solution. Whether it's conceptualizing innovative branding strategies, overcoming design constraints, or ensuring seamless integration of diverse ideas, my ability to navigate these complexities has been a hallmark of my career.

Brand Therapy is for people who believe creativity should mean something.
This is a space to explore branding, storytelling, design, and the quiet strategy behind the work people remember. It is where visual identity meets human insight, and where creative direction becomes more than a polished surface. Brand Therapy looks at the deeper layers of what makes brands feel honest, memorable, and alive. If you care about clarity, culture, trust, and the craft of building something real, this is where that conversation begins.
I work with a diverse mix of founders, institutions, and mission-driven brands — from emerging entrepreneurs finding their voice to established organizations refining their legacy. My clients include universities, nonprofits, and small businesses, all committed to growing with clarity, story, and purpose. I help them articulate who they are, elevate how they show up, and build identities that earn trust, spark belonging, and inspire meaningful action.
