I am an award-winning Creative Art Director and native to Chicago with 20 years of experience working on big and small, global and national brands. For me, great work and culture come from sincerely demonstrating diversity and inclusion. Diversity, inclusivity and authenticity are important and imperative ingredients in the work I create and produce and are considered along every step of the creative process. For the past 4 years, I have chaired Ogilvy’s Women’s Leadership Professional Network. We create a community that empowers women and all people by curating workshops, panels and events. As a Creative Ambassador for the United Nation’s Unsterotype Alliance, I get to further champion the role of women in advertising.
I’ve served as the creative lead on all kinds of brands like Sargento, American Family Insurance, Corona Light, Suave, and others, managing the creative process from concepting to completion.
