I’m a Creative Manager and Art Director with 19+ years of experience turning ideas into impactful visual stories. Born and raised in Rogers, Arkansas, I found my passion for the arts early on, studying photography, fine art, and graphic design at Northwest Arkansas Community College.

I began my career at Sam’s Club as an Image Specialist, managing digital photo editing and production for online product images. Over nearly two decades, I worked my way up through roles in design and leadership, shaping brand strategy and driving creative campaigns that connect with millions.

I’m all about smart design, strong collaboration, and pushing creative boundaries. Whether I’m leading a team or rolling up my sleeves on the work itself, I bring energy, curiosity, and a drive for excellence to every project.
