Experienced in branding, marketing design and creative strategy. I specialize in crafting visually compelling, high-converting designs that not only look great, but also drive results.

I have extensive experience in the startup tech industry, where I’ve thrived in fast-paced, ever-evolving environments that require agility, creativity, and strategic thinking. I believe great design is more than aesthetic. It’s about solving problems, telling a story, and making a lasting impression.

As the 12th employee at SharpSpring, I played a key role in defining the company’s design foundation and user experience. I helped create a cohesive and scalable visual identity. As the company grew, I continued to refine and evolve the design, ensuring a seamless user experience while aligning with business goals. My contributions supported SharpSpring’s growth, ultimately leading to its successful $240M acquisition by Constant Contact.

As the Creative Services and Brand Manager at HackerRank, I shaped the brand’s visual identity, creating marketing materials, digital campaigns, and branded content for recruiters and developers. During a period of rapid growth and market downturn in technical recruiting, I adapted to shifting resources and priorities, ensuring continued impact. Collaborating across teams, I translated complex technical concepts into engaging designs, supporting growth, product launches, and brand awareness.
