About Me

I’m an art director who leads with the idea and sweats the craft.

Award-winning art direction

For more than 20 years I’ve concepted, designed and art directed work for brands from Capital One and Allianz to independent distilleries, dairies and destinations. I’ve worked on agency and in-house teams, across social, film, web, print and packaging. I’m happiest building a big idea with a strong copy partner, then crafting every execution until it’s right.
