I am an experienced and accomplished professional, with over 25 years of experience
as an award-winning Art Director in advertising agency, academic and corporate environments in New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, Houston and Atlanta. I have most recently relocated to the Palm Springs area in California.

Over the past seven and a half years, I have been a leading and indispensable member of a creative team at Synchrony Financial (formerly GE Capital Retail Bank), providing marketing materials that have grown the assets of their online bank from $6B in 2013, to nearly $62B in 2020. These materials include award-winning national consumer print campaigns, collateral pieces, animated digital banner ads, videos, web graphics and other assorted items.

Working with a copywriter or independently, I am able to quickly implement targeted ideas, using strong, innovative conceptual thinking. I am highly proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) with excellent photo retouching
skills. I am extremely focused, organized and detail-oriented.

Smucker, Drake Bakeries, Maidenform, Celanese Corporation, Bed, Bath and Beyond, Heublein Distilleries, Nabisco, Johnson and Johnson, Empire Berol, Citicorp, Time/Life, HBO, Revlon, Charles of the Ritz, General Motors and SAS Cargo.

I am originally from the Hartford, CT, area. In my spare time, I paint mid-century autos
and flora in a hyperrealistic style, using acrylic paints. I enjoy travel, photography,
cooking, museums, hiking and architecture. I have an adopted rescue Miniature Schnauzer named Finley.
