I am a multi-disciplinary Creative Director with 10+ years of agency and brand experience, specializing in creative problem-solving. From illustrated brand systems to strategic marketing driven creative direction, I never limit myself to one medium or style. Every challenge is unique, and I believe the medium should always be dictated by the solution.
For me, creativity is a way of exploring and understanding the world. That curiosity has led me to dive into everything from copywriting, strategy, type design, and animation to projection mapping, fiberglassing, sewing, rug making, and more.
