A design leader delivering intelligently connected customer and brand experiences with empathy, imagination, and quality.

I’m a multidisciplinary design leader with expertise integrating brand, product, and customer experience considerations into cohesive, scalable design strategies and systems. Over 25+ years at Morningstar, I’ve helped shape one of the industry’s most trusted global brands through hands-on design and creative direction, strategic brand stewardship, and empathetic leadership of teams and operations. This journey has solidified my belief that design serves as both a creative and strategic force within business, shaping the way organizations communicate their value, and deliver meaningful impact to customers, and the world.

I’m currently the Head of Design for Morningstar Sustainalytics, an international business division of Morningstar that delivers data and research solutions specifically focused on sustainable investing. I’m also an adjunct instructor of typography at my alma mater, the UIC School of Design.

In addition to my undergraduate studies at UIC, I was fortunate to attend the Basel School of Design’s summer typography workshops with Wolfgang Weingart, and I also completed The Yale School of Management's Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders program sponsored by the AIGA.

My work has received recognition by the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA) and the Society of Typographic Arts (STA), including entry into the permanent Chicago Design Archive.
