Brand
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of shaping, maintaining, and guiding the brand identities of 7 different companies while also contributing to projects for a wide range of local and national brands. My work spans institutions such as Stanford University and Union Bank of California, as well as iconic names like Levi’s and Juniper Networks.
I began my professional journey as an in-house Graphic Designer at Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply in Bozeman, where I honed my skills for over two years after earning my BFA from Montana State University. Eager to grow further, I pursued an MFA in San Francisco in 2004, which opened the door to invaluable experiences—including a year-long internship at Pentagram Design, followed by a year of freelancing with top creative firms and companies across the Bay Area.
In 2009, I returned to the corporate world as a Senior Graphic Designer at Simply Hired, where I spent four years contributing to a fast-growing brand. After its acquisition, I stepped into the role of Art Director at SoundHound Inc., where for over four years I helped define and evolve the company’s creative vision during its startup-to-scale trajectory.
Eventually, I returned to Montana and joined SAV Digital Environments as Creative Marketing Director, stepping into the role of VP of Marketing & Creative Direction in January 2024. This role has allowed me to bring together my diverse experiences, from design and branding to leadership and strategy, while driving innovative marketing initiatives and building brand strength for the company.
