About

Design Director specializing in strategic and conceptual work across platforms.

My best work is achieved through a blend of art, technology, and design and I strive to develop unique experiences for clients with a desire to innovate. My process is highly collaborative, inquisitive, and experimental.

Personally, I’m passionate about cycling, surfing and the outdoors. I also enjoy mentoring aspiring designers and helping them prepare for their future careers.
