Portfolio
I have over twelve years of experience in communications, marketing, and creative strategy — balancing left and right brain thinking to drive company success.
In my current role as Creative Director at FSC Interactive, I’ve had the opportunity to develop award-winning strategies that drive revenue goals for our clients, including New Orleans Tourism, Swerve Sweetener, and Hotel Monteleone.
While my title is Creative Director, my career path has been all about exploration of new ideas. I started a digital publication about the city of New Orleans, produced a conference for creative entrepreneurs, and started my own successful design business. I’m a thoughtful, risk-taker that is endlessly curious.
My passion is building systems and as a manager I lead with empathy and integrity. Recent notable accomplishments include:
- Creative Director Of the Year, 2019 New Orleans Addy Awards
- Best in Show Social Media for New Orleans Tourism Local Lens Campaign, 2019 New Orleans Addy Awards
- 30 Under 30, 2016 New Orleans Magazine People to Watch
