Lake Hills Church
Brand & digital · 2015–2024
Visual identity for a church of 2,500+ members, with social, email, LED and digital presentations, web, print, and environmental pieces.
Creative Director with 20+ years of experience translating consumer insights, creativity, and strategy into products and visual experiences that resonate. I have designed for a variety of ages and audiences. I lead teams and partner with licensors and factories to deliver work that is on-brand, on-budget, and built to sell. Curious, collaborative, and just a little wild: that’s how I lead.

Pink, pretty and made to be worn. Developed this Barbie collection, directed the line and designed the pieces: felt flowers, heart patches, a candy-bright digital and a matching mini photo frame, all styled like the accessories she would actually wear. Shown: the retailer invite, the 2001 Spring/Summer catalog and the collection together.

Off the clock, you’ll find me roaming Austin in search of inspiration, usually outdoors and usually hungry. I’m a creature of habit when it comes to Tex-Mex: queso is a food group, and I will absolutely prey on a good breakfast taco. When the sun goes down, I keep chasing inspiration through this city’s diverse music and art scenes. And because the best things in life should be shared (tacos included), you’ll also find me mentoring and coaching young people in my community and serving with Mobile Loaves & Fishes.
Let’s make something a little wild.
