TANDO
Nineteen years in design and marketing has taken me from artist to well-rounded marketing professional with a genuine passion for the work. I have learned that the best ideas rarely come from one person, which is why I lead by working side by side with the people around me to turn creative ideas into measurable results. My edge is the combination of creative instinct and strategic thinking that I bring to every role.
