About

Brand steward/æsthete/multi-disciplinary creative

At heart, I am a designer—passionate about results-driven solutions in branding, advertising, content, and product design/experience—in short, all the ways modern consumers interact with brands.

I lead teams with great responsibility, seeking to pair opportunity with the ambitions of my team. This desire for responsible leadership extends to my time in the classroom, where I work to promote process-based, experience-honed industry best practices.

Let’s work together.
