I’m a creative type, a skateboarder, a dad and I wield the paintbrush and pen tools like a pro.
I am an experienced art director and designer with a passion for both concept and design that solve business challenges. When I'm not crafting pixel perfect niceness, I'm out exploring the great outdoors. Like in this photo.
I’ve worked with both consumer and tech brands on projects like brand level films, website design, social engagement, display banners and more. I’ve helped companies communicate through digital first creative with the objective to be on point, on brand, well thought out and flawlessly designed. I really enjoy being part of a team of like-minded thinkers and have overseen and mentored small teams while fostering creativity and excellence on projects.
