I’m a Senior Art Director with a relentless curiosity and a future facing mindset. I’ve sculpted a career on pushing creative boundaries, leading conceptually rich, visually striking campaigns that connect deeply(ideally) with people. When it’s time to shape brand identities or craft breakthrough visual styles for a campaign it becomes an obsessive fixation. I’m always exploring, questioning, and iterating, with intention, and without limits. My process is ever evolving and expanding and I’ve welcomed AI into that fold. I view AI as a weapon I can harness to ideate and get to the best idea quicker. The work is all that matters. I am the patient wolf.

For the last 9+ years I’ve been helping brands craft their face, voice and tone. I’ve worked with some of the top agencies to deliver creative-driven stories and work. A conceptual thinker and emerging creative leader who has worked with clients including Twitter, Amazon, Peloton, Russell Stover, crypto.com, Cacti, Upside Foods and The Obama Foundation. I’ve managed accounts large and small and lead teams of 6+ creatives. The work I’ve been fortunate to be a part of has gained national recognition and delivered large scale results.
