Professional Experience


As the Assistant Director for Design, I lead a dynamic team of graphic designers dedicated to elevating the University of Georgia’s marketing and communications initiatives. Spearheading the conceptualization, design, and production of an array of print and digital materials, we strive to advance the university’s strategic goals through compelling visual storytelling.

Highly skilled in Adobe Creative Cloud, I serve as a catalyst for creativity and collaboration, facilitating the development of comprehensive project plans, overseeing rigorous reviews and approvals, and meticulously managing production schedules to ensure timely delivery of high-quality materials. Beyond traditional mediums, I direct and produce multimedia projects at the institutional level, orchestrating seamless coordination among photo, video, and motion graphic teams within our marketing and media departments. Whether collaborating with internal stakeholders or liaising with external clients, I foster strong partnerships with departments and facilities, ensuring that all visuals reflect the brand values of the University of Georgia.

Throughout my eighteen-year career, I have devoted myself to advancing higher education, driven by a passion to utilize my talents in enhancing the educational journey of others. My diverse educational background includes a Master of Emerging Media, Master of Public Administration, and a Bachelor of Journalism in Public Relations from UGA, complemented by a Graduate Certificate in Marketing Strategy from Cornell University’s Johnson Graduate School of Management.

Specializing in visual communication and problem-solving, I perceive design as more than mere color, shape, or font—it’s the seamless fusion of authenticity, purpose, and communication. To me, design isn’t merely art; it’s the act of solving both new and existing challenges through thoughtful and purposeful execution.
