Senior Visual Designer — Brand Systems + Editorial + Digital

CLARITY FROM COMPLEXITY. 
BUILT TO SCALE.

I’ve always been drawn to work that’s about more than how something looks. To me, good design holds feeling, clarity, and story.  Over the last 16 years, I’ve built visual systems and templates that help teams stay consistent across print and digital formats, even when timelines are tight, and feedback is coming from everywhere. Outside of design, oil painting, photography, and travel keep sharpening my eye for composition and narrative. The work doesn’t just communicate. It connects.

Brand + Visual Systems

Modular visual frameworks that keep complex organizations clear, consistent, and aligned across teams and channels.

Editorial + Information Design

Organizing complex content into a clear hierarchy & layout makes information easier to scan, understand, and use.

Campaign + Digital Execution

Unified web, email, and campaign outputs under one system so the message stays consistent across formats.

SECTION 01 // SELECTED SYSTEMS

SELECTED WORK

Brand, editorial, and digital systems built to make complex information clear and usable. From regulated publications to enterprise communications, each project starts with structure and ends with production-ready delivery.

CASE STUDY 01 // FEATURED

BENEFITS GUIDE Framework

Most benefits guides get filed and forgotten. This one was designed to actually be used. Built for a mid-size investment firm, the system transformed dense policy content into a visually structured, easy-to-navigate reference that HR teams and employees could rely on year after year. Clean hierarchy, considered layout, and a scalable template system that raised the bar for what an internal publication could look and feel like.

SYSTEMS THAT 
SOLVE PROBLEMS

I build visual systems that make complex information easy to navigate through a clear hierarchy, reusable templates, and production-ready execution across print and digital.

Every project is grounded in three things:

SYSTEMS: Modular Templates, Scalable Layouts, Repeatable Components

STRUCTURE: Information Architecture, Wayfinding, Content Hierarchy

EXECUTION: Production-Ready Files, Consistency, Handoff-Focused
