About Me
Currently learning:
AI workflows in After Effects and historically accurate lime mortar mixes for my ca. 1890 brick home.
As an Art Director at UVA, I work daily with designers, copywriters, videographers and photographers to create marketing and brand materials for one of the nation's most iconic public universities.
I have the privilege to design, develop and oversee implementation of marketing and advertising campaigns in support of institutional priorities.
I delivered sustained and substantial communications materials at key milestones including: UVA’s Bicentennial; the inauguration and first-year listening tour for the University’s 9th President; the introduction of UVA’s Strategic Plan; the launch of a 5B capital campaign; a comprehensive public safety campaign through COVID; the design and launch of multiple apparel lines; and UVA’s expansion into the Washington DC/Northern Virginia market.
