About

I’m a brand strategist and designer with 16+ years of experience building brands that connect, convert, and grow with intention. Through my studio, Ember Design, I use a proprietary framework called MESH™—a step-by-step process that blends strategy, storytelling, and design to create brands people actually remember. From early-stage startups to established companies, I help teams clarify their voice, sharpen their visuals, and bring their brand to life through proven systems that work across every touchpoint.
