Lead for USA Swimming Creative and Productions. Charged with setting the standard for content and creative across all channels, formulating the foundational structure of the agency, and putting people and assets in place to accomplish our goal of being the go-to strategy hub for all things related to the USA Swimming brand.

I work closely with the Commercial team to create meaningful content and programs for our membership and marketing partners. I'm responsible for cultivating the overall look and feel of our brands and deploying creative across multiple design disciplines, while supporting our core business objectives.

In short, I'm designing, writing, brainstorming and implementing with some of the brightest people in the country.

Responsible for all visual elements for USA Swimming, the national governing body for the sport. Primary duties include the design of Splash magazine (circulation 280,000) for both print and digital editions, all venue dressings/signage/support print materials for large-scale swimming events (U.S. Olympic Trials, Pan Pacific Championships, National Championships, etc.), event and program logo design, uniform designs, all print materials and the supervision of various freelance designers.

My primary duty was to design Splash magazine, which was and still is the flagship publication of USA Swimming. My job duties then began to expand into internal logo design, team uniforming and sponsor marketing collateral.

This was my first corporate job outside of a print shop environment. This is where I learned how to work with a team of driven sales people who needed me to perform high-end design on tight deadlines. I designed all print collateral, logos and designed custom 3D signage for an affluent target demographic.

In-house print shop graphic designer responsible for quick turn and large scale print designs. This is where I found out that real-world design wasn't anything like creating for a professor. It was an exceptional introduction to getting the screen to match the printed page – lessons that still serve me well to this day. There are stories from this job - oh the many, many stories. Happy to share them with anyone who's read this and wants to hear about the angry print client and the truck of empty boxes.
