yo, hey, hola, hello..
Thanks for stopping by—a bit about me. I'm a multidisciplinary design leader with deep practice in visual and verbal systems and a background in interactive media. I boldly steer strategic brand, website and experience initiatives across industries.
In recent years, I freelanced as a Creative Director and project lead for organizations of all sizes, including Adobe, Awasu Design, Emotive Brand, Goodbye Silverstein & Partners, Linus, MapBox, Q Bio, Propane, and Zelle. In just the past year, I've been at the helm of brand identity redesigns, MVP campaigns, and corporate website overhauls.
I'm a native of Silicon Valley now living in San Francisco. I miss hearing crickets on warm nights.
