I’m a Project Manager and Designer with a Master’s in Software Engineering.

What I do

I deliver leadership and execution in technically demanding projects.

I launched my career with an Art & Design degree, then spent over six years in marketing, web design, graphic design, and project management. I spent the next four years acquiring a Master’s in Computer Science and Software Engineering, providing me with ten years of combined skills. I can bring a project from inception to delivery and provide a tailored approach for any need. I can build a website, create a brand identity, design physical packaging, and manage a product launch and social media plan. I take a wide-lens approach with every project which allows me to address risk and loose ends at a project’s early stage.
