I pride myself in turning complex ideas into
easily digestible content while working within
realistic deadlines and multi-disciplinary teams.
A keen eye for observing with an ability to tune
into insightful information allows me to sustain
motivation throughout projects. I have the energy
to design and follow through with goals without
becoming flustered by unforeseen but common
creative roadblocks. I can defend ideas when
necessary but maintain an open mind to achieve
the highest level of results.

Natural Fitness® was looking to develop a brand mark that
delivered a concise message of minimal
environmental impact fitness accessories.
When like minded people with diverse backgrounds come together, it is amazing what they can accomplish. Tired of seeing low quality, environmentally harmful fitness products in yoga and Pilates studios, fitness centers and homes, we decided that there had to be a better way, something more in line with the concepts of personal wellness and self improvement. With the goal of providing better alternatives, Natural Fitness came into being.
One of Natural Fitness’s founding principles is to offset the impact on the environment that results from the manufacturing anddistribution of our products. To achieve this Natural Fitness created our Zero Impact Program (ZIP)

For every product we sell, our Plant-A-Tree initiative funds the
planting of a tree in areas of the world that benefit most. that a single tree can remove up to
2,000 pounds of pollution from our
atmosphere.
