Before I ever knew what marketing or art direction was, I was nine years old, sitting at my dad’s office desk with every art supply a kid could dream up, designing my own “company newsletters.” I’d draw Winnie the Pooh characters (Piglet was my favorite), write up “articles” about the important happenings around the office, and print out copies for everyone, like it was breaking news. It was my first taste of what it feels like to create something that connects with people. Something that made people smile.

That spark never left. Now, I channel that same storytelling instinct into strategy, design, and organization, bringing structure to creativity so ideas actually come to life. I want to be the kind of Account Manager who never loses that kid with the crayons and colored pencils. Still telling stories. Still making people smile. Just with better software and a much better system.
