MY PROFESSIONAL BIO…
I’m the creative visionary for one of the top four accounting firms in the world. I built our brand’s identity and designed the firm’s first and largest experiential center in Chicago and then nationwide. I’ve shaped the national narrative, collaborating with architects, designers, and stakeholders to support impactful client experiences. I developed visual design strategy, pioneering a new way of story telling with Charming Studios through implementing the DUO Method. My career has been defined by crafting immersive experiences that bring brands and spaces to life through design and real human connection.
My goal: turning big ideas into something people can actually see, feel, and experience.

My creative practice is led by intuition and fueled by music. I develop visuals with soul, designed to make you feel and take the next step.
“As a business leader, I need a trusted circle that I can bring into the hard questions—that aren’t solved yet, where the stakes are high and the answer really matters. I trust Heather to listen, challenge, explore and help me find the idea that is not only right for today, but right for the brand and where it needs to go next.”
