PROFESSIONAL BIO

I’ve worked across the creative industry for more than two decades, beginning after graduating from ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles, CA and spanning freelance, agency, and in-house roles ever since. Most recently, from 2021 through early 2025, I served as Creative Director for a venture-backed company where I led brand development, product launch, and market introduction for a category-defining product. In that role, I helped build the brand from inception through launch, overseeing creative direction and integrated marketing across digital, film, experiential, and social channels.

My responsibilities included building the company’s digital ecosystem, producing long-form branded content, leading experiential and showroom design, and overseeing content creation across film and photography. I also worked closely with executive leadership as a strategic partner, helping shape brand voice, customer experience, and go-to-market strategy, while supporting sales initiatives, partnerships, and community engagement.

Prior to this, I held senior leadership roles within award-winning agencies, including serving as Executive Producer at a top-tier creative agency, where I oversaw production, creative execution, and client strategy across a wide range of industries. Earlier in my career, I worked as a commercial director and photographer in Los Angeles, leading campaigns for globally recognized brands. This path has given me a holistic perspective on how brands are built, scaled, and sustained and how creative, strategy, and execution must work in lockstep.

What I bring is not just creative vision, but the ability to translate that vision into systems, teams, and work that performs and yeilds results. I’m comfortable operating at both the strategic and executional levels, mentoring creative teams, collaborating with leadership, and ensuring that every touchpoint aligns with the brand’s core purpose whle remaining in budget and on time.a.

THIS IS THE REAL ME…

My journey’s been rich with lessons and I show up now with clarity, purpose, and heart. Rather than perform, I’d rather share honestly: life has taken me far, and taught me well.

I’ve called sixteen cities home and wandered into remote corners of the world. I’ve been bitten by sharks, rappelled down skyscrapers, taught photography to blind students, been stranded in Mexico, and crewed the first electric boat to cross the Gulf Stream. As a kid I drove a VW bus with flames down the side and toured with the Grateful Dead back when Jerry was alive. My daughter is named after the moon; my son, after the great Miles Davis.

But my story wasn’t built in a straight line. It’s layered, lived, and full. Every stop, every shift, every lesson has added something to me and I carry it all with gratitude. I’ve journeyed through landscapes of emotion, leaving behind echoes of both heartache and heroism. My chapters are stitched with departure, wonder, risk, reinvention, and the weight of lessons learned.

The highs gave me momentum and gratitude. The blows gave me perseverance and perspective. I’ve been rebuilt by breakdowns and held together by scar tissue. These days, I’m not chasing attention or reaching for glory. I’m creating with intention, passion and purpose, aiming only to leave things better than I found them.
