About

I’m an art director and brand designer who also designs digital products. For 25+ years, I’ve turned complex ideas into work that people understand, trust and use.

In 13 years at McKinsey & Company, I grew from a senior designer on the editorial team into the lead visual and brand designer for the Firm’s Tech Ecosystem, and in my last two years I moved into UX and service design across core Firm platforms. I created two brand identities from the ground up, led event design for McKinsey’s largest internal conference, and turned a 100+ slide playbook into an interactive experience that ranked in the top 1% of 49,000+ sources in Lilli, McKinsey’s gen AI platform.

What ties it all together is leadership. I art direct designers and illustrators, coach colleagues to do their best work, and help teams find the creative freedom inside a brand system. I’m at my best as a bridge between design, product and engineering. Before McKinsey, I led creative services at Valparaiso University and taught graphic and interactive design as an assistant professor.

I’m also a hands-on builder with AI. Shortly before leaving McKinsey, I conceived and built Inclusion Lens, an app that checks documents for inclusive representation and accessibility and suggests fixes. It won an award at a McKinsey AI hackathon.

I’m looking for my next role as an art director, design lead, or senior brand, visual or UX designer. Based in Greater Boston.
