About me

Always

Designing

I’ve spent the past 15 years building brands, campaigns, and content — leading work for Boar’s Head and Wendy’s, shaping visuals for MTV, and teaming up on independent projects full of character and grit.

 

Currently, I’m a Senior Art Director at Mode, where I lead cross-disciplinary projects and mentor a team of designers, helping shape thoughtful, high-caliber creative work.

 

I specialize in identity systems, custom typography, motion and art direction across tactile brand extensions, digital, and photo/video production.

Creative

Elasticity

From brand to campaign, digital to production, I’m comfortable moving between mediums and finding the right approach for each. Whether I’m on set, behind the screen, or deep in concepting, I work to create thoughtful, high-impact experiences that meet the moment and move the work forward.

What I Do

Art Direction

I focus on shaping work that feels cohesive, considered, and visually strong. I lead shoots, build systems, and refine details with purpose throughout.

Brand Design & Illustration

I build brands with personality and range. From custom type to full systems, I aim for work that’s clear, distinct, flexible, and full of character.

Motion Graphics

I bring brand systems to life through motion. I focus on clarity, tone, and rhythm, keeping things purposeful rather than overly complex or decorative.

Digital Experiences

I design digital work that supports the story. I consider structure, usability, and how the brand feels across every screen, format, and interaction point.

Conceptual Thinking

I lead with ideas that hold up before anything’s designed. I look for clear, thoughtful concepts that shape direction and strengthen the work that follows.

Design Leadership

I lead design teams by example and support others in doing their best work. I mentor, give clear feedback, and push for ideas that raise the bar.
