In-house creative leadership for small teams
I help in-house teams build brand systems, multimedia campaigns, and creative culture that actually hold up under real constraints.
Open to full-time or long-term embedded roles. Tulsa-based, remote-friendly.
What I bring to an in-house team
Translate strategy into usable brand systems (not just guidelines)
Set creative direction that survives turnover, timelines, and budget shifts
Lead designers and collaborators as a mentor, not a bottleneck
Build momentum with limited resources and real constraints
Partner with leadership and stakeholders across strategy, content, and execution
Make decisions that move work forward, not sideways.

Why in-house teams work well with me.
I design for reuse and evolution, not one-off presentations
I’m comfortable making decisions, not just options
I work inside real constraints without resenting them. I actually prefer them.
I document and systemize so teams don’t rely on me forever
I care about creative health, not just output.
