I bring more than 20 years of experience designing and developing websites, applications, intranets and print collateral materials for a wide variety of clients, from large financial associations to small-business owners, artists and musicians, as well as establishing and maintaining brand and corporate identities. I have a BA in graphic design and early-childhood education from SUNY Empire State College. And I paint as often as possible.

Professionally, nothing is more satisfying than making a task simpler. This is at the heart of improving layout and flow of online forms, editing text for easy scanning and comprehension and stripping away unneeded elements. Calling on training as an educator, I am able to anticipate potential gaps and how to avert them.

Between 2007 and early 2011 I administered AIGA’s websites, providing satisfactory user experiences for visitors as well as efficient management tools for content production and site maintenance. With technical partners, Thirdwave LLC, I supported individual members, staff and volunteer chapter leaders in 65 diverse communities as they built their own web presence. A primary aspiration was to provide accessible, rich online experiences for all resulting in AIGA's early adoption of closed-captioned video.

In 2009 I worked closely with Behance to develop AIGA's Member Gallery, a showcase of members' design. At the same time, I worked with Core 77/Coroflot to redesign the AIGA Design Jobs, vastly improving information access and reducing support requests. I supported the redesign and development of AIGA's Design Archives by Second Story Interactive Studios and consulted on the redesign of the competitions system by Dream Real Digital.
