About

I’m a Design Director with 17+ years of experience building distinct brand identities and visual systems across agency, editorial, and consulting environments.
My approach balances hands-on craft with strategic leadership. I love taking complex or evolving briefs, pushing the edges of a brand's identity, and finding fresh angles that result in beautiful, high-impact design.
