Over 11 years in this business have helped me realize that helping people, businesses, and ideas reach their greatest potential, is my passion. I've led teams, clients, and love guiding others' work as much as creating my own. I'm a creative director, art director, and designer with a track record of creating effective, intelligent, strategy lead, branding, marketing, and advertising. Many of those works have been featured in Communication Arts, One Show, Print, Graphis, and Addy's. Working with fortune 500 companies to local start-ups and everything in between—has taught me that effective creative solutions start with great strategic insight. Only by understanding the cultural contexts, needs, and beliefs of end users can you properly define the correct direction that can elevate a brand experience. I've worked with many talented people and made some close friends along the way. I've been hit by a car twice, stalked by a bear once, and can cook you the perfect omelet.
