Designer, builder,
systems thinker.

I've spent the last decade doing work that doesn't fit neatly into a single job title — part strategist, part systems builder, part creative director, part engineer.

My career has been a deliberate pursuit of the hardest problems at the intersection of creativity and technology: how do you make complex systems accessible to non-technical teams? How do you build campaigns that are both beautifully crafted and rigorously measurable? How do you grow a team without losing the quality that made the early work great?

Those questions still drive me.

I started as a graphic designer and photographer. I studied design and built my technical chops alongside it — learning to code not because I had to, but because I wanted to understand how the things I was designing actually worked.

That curiosity led me from agency work in Dubuque to marketing and web development roles in Des Moines, and eventually to F&G, where I've spent the last five years growing from Multimedia Designer to Manager of Digital Experience. Along the way I've built design systems, automated production workflows, owned martech budgets, founded a UX team, and presented marketing strategy to the C-suite.

The through-line in all of it: I find broken things and fix them at a systems level — not just symptom by symptom.

Over the years I've taken a handful of personality assessments with different teams. I don't take them as gospel — but they've given me useful language for things I already knew about myself.
