Amplifying the missions of brands doing Good.
I partner with brands striving to make the world better through their services and products, who value design for Good that delights customers.
I am a veteran creative with a vision to amplify the words and wisdom of purpose-driven organizations. I founded Upbound Creative Co. in 2023 after 15 years in the creative industry (sheesh, where does time go?!)
I’m a collaborative and communicative designer, bringing ideas to life with a practical and enthusiastic approach. I strive to be candid, thoughtful, driven, and kind in my collaboration. I love working with teams of exceptional people, and I’m always looking for opportunities and connections.
Go on, say, “Hi!” The LinkedIn button is up top.
What you can expect from me
I’m energized by gathering insights, conceptualizing, testing, and designing the pieces customers see throughout their brand experience (whether that’s in-store, online, or on the package they're holding). How color, type, graphic elements, textures, and photography come together to tell a compelling, unified brand story is my jam. I will bring the following to our collaboration:
