Design + Creative Direction
I’m a design leader with 18 years experience building brands, campaigns, and creative systems that connect.
I’ve worked across the full spectrum—small hole-in-the wall studios, large agencies that ordered too much Mendocino Farms, agencies that were always pitching and laser-focused in-house teams. I’ve been on everything from scrappy, low-budget projects where you wear all the hats to high-production campaigns. One thing that has always been constant is my craft and attention to detail. A designer to the core, I push pixels to perfection, my assets and colors are always connected to libraries, and can edit a photo the old school way or the AI way. As a leader, I care as much about how things get made as what gets made—building teams, systems, and processes that make great work possible.
