Vistaprint
Vistaprint catalyzed my love for design and my desire to lead and mentor others; I started there as a Designer and left as a Senior Art Director.
I primarily led design initiatives for business and digital product lines, driving high-performing designs across the Marketing organization. I designed thousands of things; a few appear below, as well as a couple samples from a product photoshoot that I art directed.
A particular highlight for me was ideating and leading the production of a lobby experience that allowed visitors to see, feel, and touch our products in real life, as well as discover a lot more about us through an interactive digital experience.

Building Design & Life Experiences
I collaborated with multi-office teams to develop a platform allowing designers with no coding experience to create coordinating website templates. I helped expand design tools and asset libraries, and partnered with legal teams on licensing and contract matters.
I collaborated with content strategists to define and execute business identity vision for the product design team. This led to art directing key high-visibility projects and representing the Creative team’s needs in cross-functional corporate initiatives. I led business, consumer, and digital design projects, developing methods for generating high-quality concepts. And I worked with creative leadership to create a logo-based identity template model.
Earlier in my time at Vistaprint, I helped pioneered new, designer-friendly tools and workflows based on Adobe design software, demonstrating strong leadership in adapting design processes to industry standards. I quickly mastered proprietary tools for online-accessible design templates, and contributed as a technical leader and influential voice in design discussions.
