I don't just make things look good. I build the systems that make good work repeatable.

Creative executive. 15+ years building design strategy across gaming, technology, and lifestyle. I work at the intersection of brand, product, and operations. I've led teams, built creative functions from scratch, and collaborated directly with CEOs to scale what their companies look like and how they show up.

When I'm not directing and building creative teams, I consult for companies that need senior creative leadership without the full-time hire. My clients have included organizations across healthcare, game development, and humanitarian programs. I've also taught as a design lecturer at San Francisco State University, because I believe the next generation of creative leaders should understand systems, not just aesthetics.

Creative, brand, and marketing as operable systems, not one-off projects.
