About

YO!

 

I am a multi-disciplinary Creative Director with 10 years of agency experience, specializing in problem solving. Although illustration, illustrated systems and cell animation, come naturally to me, I try to never be locked into one medium or style. All problems are unique and thus mediums should be dictated by the best solution. 
I see creativity as a means of exploring and understanding the world. This has led me to learn everything from, copywriting, strategy, type design, animation to projection mapping, fiberglassing, sewing, rug making, and more. 

If you'd like to tackle problems, explore complex ideas together or get a coffee, please reach out
