About me

My path into design came from two very different places: a career in IT consulting and my background as an artist. That combination turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to my work.

I think about brand design the way I think about a mural. It has to work from a distance and up close, belong to the space it lives in, and make someone feel something before they even read a word. I bring that same thinking to the brands, campaigns, and visual systems I build, balancing creative instinct with the strategic and technical side of making ideas work.

I love working with brands that put people at the center and turning complex ideas into something clear, thoughtful, and memorable.

Just a few favorites
