Creative professional turned systems builder. I design brand identities, write technically accurate content, and build AI-powered applications that generate product descriptions at industrial scale.
Advanced Photoshop, Illustrator, print production, photo retouching, social media templates, in-store signage, full-page magazine ads. Twenty years deep in Adobe.
Product descriptions, blog articles, website copy, brand style guides, catalog content. Structuring content systems where scientific accuracy is the baseline, not a bonus.
Custom Flask applications, AI-assisted content generation, data enrichment pipelines, regex-powered validation, workflow automation. The newest discipline — and the one pulling everything together.
When I started at Tisch Scientific, the company had no brand style guide and 10,000+ products that needed unique, technically accurate descriptions. I created the style guide from scratch, presented it to executive leadership, obtained approval — and then built an application to enforce it at scale.
Content Generator 3.0 is a Flask application that takes raw vendor CSV data and produces publish-ready HTML product descriptions. AI helps generate the sentence libraries — but the system I built controls everything else: how those sentences are assembled, rotated for SEO uniqueness, and validated against scientific accuracy rules that prevent errors like claiming nylon filters recover proteins or labeling a 0.45µm filter as sterile.
I also established the grammar rules and marketing voice that the generator enforces. Opening paragraphs use a colleague-professional tone in third person. Product detail bullets continue with direct third-person statements. But in the closing paragraph, the voice shifts to second person for the feature-benefit statements and call to action. The logic: if the reader makes it through all of the content, we've earned the right to speak to them directly. That philosophy is baked into how the system structures every description.

I graduated in 2009 with a degree in Multimedia and Web Design — straight into the worst job market in a generation. I adapted. Took a help desk job, spent six years learning server configuration, hosting, and code from the inside out, and built a technical foundation most designers never get.
When I made the jump to marketing, I brought all of it: writing instincts, design sensibility, and enough technical depth to see how the pieces connect. Since then I've designed full-page magazine ads, coordinated multi-business marketing campaigns, normalized databases with 4,000+ records across two divisions, and migrated systems between ERP platforms.
Now I'm building AI-powered applications — custom Flask tools that transform messy vendor data into scientifically accurate, SEO-optimized product content. It's the most challenging work I've done, and it only works because of everything that came before it.
Sole content contributor for a laboratory filtration distributor with 10,000+ products. Created the company's brand style guide from scratch and secured executive approval. Built Content Generator 3.0 — a four-stage Flask pipeline generating scientifically validated, SEO-optimized HTML descriptions. Also handle vendor product photography, color correction, and web optimization.
Owned all marketing operations. Grew social media engagement 200%+ year-over-year. Normalized a 4,000+ product database across two company divisions and led ERP system migration. Designed and placed full-page print ads in local magazines — managing the entire process from concept through billing to delivery. Coordinated a co-marketing campaign with 12 local businesses. Created templated brand guidelines for social media and web.
Created website content, blog articles, and contributed to a 1,000-page product catalogue. Responsible for digital copy across multiple channels.
Started in IT support during the 2008–09 recession. Learned server configuration, hosting, and code reading. Transitioned to the marketing department after 6 years based on writing ability, design skill, and technical versatility. Spent the final 3 years in creative and web roles.
Foundation in design, web development, and multimedia production. Adobe experience dates back to 2004 (Macromedia era). Graduated into a recession — which turned out to be the best thing for building resilience and range.
Design work, content strategy, AI-powered tooling, or something that needs all three — I'm always interested in problems where creative thinking and systematic execution meet.
