I am a native of Johannesburg, South Africa with 20 years experience. I immigrated to Los Angeles in 1996 after working as a conference coordinator, graphic designer, and design team leader in advertising and marketing companies. I have worked in both corporate, agency and freelance environments. I managed marketing support for in-house teams and managed ten brokerage locations for DAUM Commercial Real Estate. I place high value on communication skills to provide excellent support services.
In DAUM Commercial's 112 year history, 2016 was the best, finishing with gross production of 22% over 2015.
I created a full branding and identity project for Tikkun Holistic Spa and Medical Center in Los Angeles and have experience with spa, travel, insurance, hotel, real estate, architecture, photographers, and financial clients.
As a graphic designer at CBRE, the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, I create high-end, custom property marketing materials for the GLA-OC-IE region. With over 20 years of branding and design experience, I have a wealth of knowledge on print, digital, and social media technology, as well as team management and coordination.
I work closely with top leasing professionals, client services, and digital teams to deliver customized marketing packages that showcase the unique features and benefits of each property. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, and I have a keen eye for design, layout, and typography. I am passionate about producing quality work that meets the needs and expectations of my clients, both internal and external. I am also a confident and creative professional who can handle multiple projects and deadlines, and who values integrity and conscious communication.

I believe in creating a product that will give clients an image or brand that they can use for years to come. Above all, I value a dedicated work ethic based on compassionate communication and integrity. I am an avid dog lover, and live with my husband and two black labradors in Los Angeles, CA.
