Executive summary

Creative executive with more than 15 years of leadership experience, advancing from Creative Lead to Vice President, Creative Director and guiding creative teams through the growth of a national, multi-brand e-commerce business. I develop and oversee brand guidelines and creative output across digital and print, and build the processes and automation that scale team output and efficiency.

AI-enabled creative operations

My current focus is heavily weighted in AI-enabled creative operations: enterprise-level use of OpenAI, Anthropic and Google platforms, with extensive LLM and generative AI testing and implementation. It rests on hands-on design work, from broadcast to brand to e-commerce, where I integrate a career of design experience into modern AI practice, because taste, process and judgment are what make these tools worth using. That work is governed: approved data sources, layered quality checks and human review at key stages before anything goes live.
