Graphic Designer | Art Director | Production Designer
I'm a New York–based graphic designer with more than 15 years of experience creating public campaigns, packaging, retail graphics, environmental design, presentations, and production-ready creative for agencies, national brands, and consumer products.
My background is rooted in consumer products, where I’ve designed and developed party goods, gift items, and packaging for major retailers such as Target and Walmart. I’ve also worked on advertising and packaging for brands under the Unilever portfolio. In these roles, I’ve managed the end-to-end design process, collaborating closely with vendors and production teams to deliver high-quality, market-ready work, as well as supporting broader brand and product initiatives across categories.
I also bring strong experience in creative direction, team leadership, and project management, leading cross-functional teams to develop branded products and experiences while ensuring alignment with client vision and industry standards.
My work extends into the production side of design, including dielines, print specifications, and vendor coordination. I've worked directly with manufacturers and traveled to factories in China, India, and Indonesia to review materials, refine production details, and ensure quality throughout the manufacturing process.
