ABOUT ME:
I’m a multidisciplinary Creative Director with a foundation in art direction, specializing in building brands from the ground up—crafting strategy, shaping narratives, and bringing bold, culturally resonant ideas to life.
With 15+ years of experience, I’m a storyteller at heart—shaping big ideas, developing distinct visual languages, and designing experiences that connect with today’s culture. It’s where sharp aesthetics, smart tech, and thoughtful design all meet to make something that actually sticks.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning directors and top-tier production studios, always aiming to elevate the work with a fresh, distinct perspective.
