Creative Direction, Illustration, Graphic Design

I’m a Creative Director, Senior Graphic Designer and Illustrator with over 20 years of experience building brands, products, and visual systems across apparel, streetwear, food, entertainment, and lifestyle.

My work sits at the intersection of creative leadership and hands on design. I’ve led designers and freelancers, directed outside creative teams, established brand standards, built more efficient creative workflows, and managed projects from early concept through production. At the same time, I stay close to the work developing concepts, designing, illustrating, building identities, and finding creative solutions when timelines are tight.

My background extends beyond the screen into apparel development, print, packaging, merchandise, manufacturing, and vendor management. That production experience shapes how I approach design: strong ideas need to connect in the real world, not just look good in a presentation.

I’m most effective in environments where I can help define the creative direction, bring structure to the process, and work alongside a team to make the ideas happen.
