TODAY Show | NBC Universal

My foundation is rooted in graphic design, typography, color theory and storytelling through animation. I am a conceptual thinker and look at life through a designer's eye. My journey started as an individual team contributor to now leading a 24/7 graphics operation for the 2nd oldest television show in America. I was promoted to Managing Art Director for the TODAY Show graphics team back in 2010 and my career path expanded into creative leadership.

I am extremely passionate about creating great design and I believe you are only as good as your team. Great Art Direction starts with a holistic and collaborative approach to problem solving design solutions.
