Hello there

If you’re here, you’re probably looking for an art director with eight years of experience at agencies both big and small, from Edelman to Orchard Creative, with FCB, BBDO, and 72andSunny in between.

You might also be looking for someone who has touched, pitched, and made work for a wide range of clients and accounts, Sleep Number | NFL, AT&T, Lincoln Financial Group, and Intuit Credit Karma to name a few.

Maybe you’ve found yourself searching for a creative fluent in creating cohesive, effective visual worlds, who understands the importance of a distinct, immersive look & feel.

If so, welcome to my site.  

I’m an ACD art director with a fine art background. I’ve got an eye for composition, light and color, a comfort for residing at the intersection between craft and messaging, a knack for navigating tough clients and complex productions, and a soft spot for leading interns and juniors.

I attended Pratt Institute for 2 1/2 years, refining my fine arts and concentrating on Communications Design. I also took part in D&AD’s inaugural NYC New Blood Shift program, and more recently served as juror for the New Blood Awards in 2023.Currently I’m based in Brooklyn, NY, working at Orchard Creative across multiple accounts.
More about me:

In my spare time, you can find me exploring different mediums across the fine arts, and finding new avenues to tell stories by combining digital media with the more tangible aspects that the arts allow. I also have a passion for styling and fashion psychology, am the proud guardian of a rambunctious Scottie, and have a killer green thumb. If you need me, chances are you can find me outside touching grass while wearing a strange outfit.
