Multidisciplinary art director & designer with a love of smart ideas and an eye for pixel perfection. I’ve worked with a variety of clients (from Fortune 100 companies to small start-ups) and although my skill set is extensive, my strengths include brand identity, creative strategy, environmental design, UX/UI, photography, content creation, video production and digital marketing analytics.
Before I built brands, I created spaces and buildings (please request a resume for the full story). I believe great design is smart strategy meeting beautiful execution. I’m a passionate designer who truly enjoys the process of finding unique solutions to creative challenges and I’m love how design can solve complex social problems by becoming a catalyst for positive change. I believe that hard work pays off, the details make the design, and that we create the reality in which we live. My inspiration — in my work and in life — comes from backpacking mountain trails, ocean swims, studying great architecture, jumping off lakeside docks, listening to good music, photography, cooking, traveling and keeping a curious, open mind.
