Brand + digital, visual + verbal, strategy + execution

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 leader for organizations of all sizes. Most recently, I've been at the helm of integrated campaigns, MVP rollouts, and corporate website overhauls.

I'm a Silicon Valley native living in San Francisco. I miss hearing crickets on warm nights.
