Part of my story

I'm a Senior Visual Designer & Production Lead with over 15 years of experience building and running creative pipelines — from high-volume print production and prepress to experiential installations and digital product design. My technical depth isn't the headline; it's the foundation that makes the structure work.

I've partnered with enterprise clients including T‑Mobile, Samsung, Cisco, AMEX, and Masterbrand Cabinets — managing cross-functional teams across print, motion, fabrication, and digital. My work spans fast-moving production studios and long-cycle product design, and I've driven outcomes that hold up to scrutiny — including a 45% relative lift in account engagement on a key conversion feature.

At the senior level, my job is to build systems that protect creative quality at every handoff — and to make sure the team around me has the structure, specs, and clarity to do their best work. The details matter because they always have.

I love discussing all things art and design and the Creative industry, including design ethics, culture, production, and the intersections of all of it. Heavily influenced by the physics of interactions and strong narratives across media. I'm bad at quoting movies and sometimes a GIF expresses what I'm thinking better than words.

If you want to talk, my inbox is always open.

Thank you!
