A B O U T

Born and raised in NYC, I’m a multi-disciplinary creative director/art director with over 15 years of experience in the advertising industry. I believe in the power of ideas to change perspectives and pride myself on creating honest, disruptive work. I have a tireless love for creative problem solving and an obsession with making everything I touch look great. When I’m not working, you’ll find me exploring new places with my wonderful wife, jamming on the keyboard, painting, geeking out on creative tech and AI, or just enjoying life with our three pets.

Brands I've worked on: Visa, AT&T, Starbucks, General Electric, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Tropicana, Lays, M&M’s, American Red Cross, CVS, Snickers, Twix, Campbell's Soup, Lowe’s, FedEx, Guinness Beer, Yahoo!, Gillette, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Guinness World Records.

Skills: Campaign platform development | Concepting & systems thinking | Art direction & visual storytelling | Film, photography & motion direction | Typography & brand design systems | Copywriting & narrative development | Creative leadership & mentorship | Executive client & stakeholder presentation | Integrated digital & social campaigns | Creative technology & AI-enabled workflows
