WHAT I DO
The Short
I am a graphic artist, content creator, and social media strategist. I design for print and web. I plan content, build campaigns, tell stories, solve problems, organize layouts, and obsess over details.
The Long
Isn’t it all relative? Random mixes, chance meetings, unlikely unions. Eclectic synergy: how the love of French Impressionists, crisp fall days and those fuzzy blue airline blankets, among other things, swirl together to manifest as art, as style. That, I suppose, is the mystery of design. When we cozy up to seemingly unrelated philosophies and tastes, who knows what interesting creatures might crawl out onto the canvas if given such freedoms? Being labeled as an eccentric is the only way to fly, artistically.
When inspired by a variety of sources, one produces work that communicates. But what that work says is up to you. We create something unique, you and I. You give meaning to that which I have given life.
The Specifics
I develop social media campaigns from the initial concept through planning, creation, and execution. I develop creative concepts and content themes, write copy, shoot photos and video, create reels and graphics, plan and schedule content, manage publishing and engagement, and track performance. In other words, I take an idea and turn it into an actual campaign. I also develop and manage digital marketing campaigns, including paid social and Google ads.
In addition, I design for print and web, creating everything from brands and websites to advertising, email marketing, and promotional materials.
ABOUT LM
I've always loved art. I've always loved creating.
I have a B.A. in Computer Graphic Design with an emphasis in print and web design as well as minors in Interior Design, Advertising, Psychology, and Fine Arts.
Throughout my career in advertising, publishing, marketing, and communications, I've worked in a variety of creative roles from lead designer and project manager to art director and creative director. Over the years, my work has evolved to span design, content creation, social media, digital marketing, photography, videography—in essence, all the ingredients of storytelling. I'm endlessly curious about what makes people pay attention, connect, and engage. I love finding creative ways to help brands and businesses tell their stories both beautifully and effectively.
