Profile:

Summary

I am a creative director who specializes in message and visual design. Throughout the entire process of creative message design, I consult one on one with my clients to identify how their message can effectively reach their target audience and change lives.

My unique background as a graphic designer and communication consultant allows me to understand what is essential to communicate an idea and how to deliver the message with clarity.
