My journey as a creative began in a college photography class when I first discovered Adobe Photoshop—from that moment, I was hooked. After graduating from The Art Institute of California, Los Angeles, with a Bachelor of Science in Animation, I spent over a decade as a lead designer and animator at Grapevine Productions. Working with premier clients like Disney and Warner Bros, I developed a foundation in high-output broadcast production, design, and the creation of motion graphics for on-air and in-house promotions.

​

In 2018, I joined the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians (Yaamava' Resort & Casino). During my tenure, I advanced to the role of Multimedia Content Producer, overseeing over 200 projects that ranged from tribal government videos to high-end social media campaigns for the casino. This role expanded my expertise into professional videography, directing interviews, and streamlining creative delivery within a complex corporate environment.

​

Currently, as the Founder of Rogue Bear Creative LLC, I use my over 20 years of experience to help businesses grow their brands through multimedia content design and production management. My focus is on creating design systems that work for people. I collaborate with business owners to build repeatable workflows and custom brand kits, ensuring their vision stays consistent and their teams stay fast.

Whether I am leading a team of designers or hands-on with the latest Adobe Creative Suite tools, my goal is to balance visual excellence with operational efficiency.

I am a design-systems-first leader who thrives on solving complex production challenges and helping brands maintain a consistent, impactful presence across all platforms.
