Hi, I’m Courtney

Designer. Creative Director. Strategic thinker. Brand lover.

I've spent my career helping organizations uncover what makes them different and turning those insights into meaningful brand experiences. Along the way, I've worked in both small branding agencies and large digital organizations, leading everything from strategic brand initiatives to digital experiences and creative teams.

Over the years, I've learned that the best work rarely comes from a single brilliant idea. It comes from bringing the right people together, asking good questions, and creating an environment where collaboration can thrive. Whether I'm partnering with executives, facilitating workshops, mentoring designers, or digging into the work itself, I'm energized by solving complex challenges alongside great people.

I'm especially passionate about the intersection of brand and culture. I believe authentic brands are built from the inside out, and that understanding the people behind an organization is just as important as understanding the audience it's trying to reach. The strongest brands aren't just seen—they're experienced.

As a leader, I care deeply about helping people grow. Some of my proudest accomplishments aren't the brands I've helped build, but the teams I've helped develop and the relationships I've built along the way. I've found that when people feel trusted, supported, and challenged, great work tends to follow.

Since earning my BFA in Visual Communication Design from the University of Dayton, I've spent more than a decade helping organizations navigate change, build stronger brands, and create meaningful connections with the people they serve.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and daughter, hiking with my golden retriever Bowie, catching a live music show, or finding any excuse to be outdoors. From backpacking trips to summer days that are probably a little too hot, I love being outside and exploring wherever the next adventure leads.
