Creative Director | Art Director | Brand Builder | Storyteller

With over 22 years of experience in advertising, art direction, and design, I’ve built a career on developing bold, effective ideas for brands across every medium—from traditional campaigns to digital content and social video. I’ve helped shape the identity of more than 60 brands, working with top-tier agencies and talented teams to craft award-winning creative that delivers results.

My work has been recognized internationally for creativity, strategic insight, and impact. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments, leading cross-functional teams and mentoring creative talent to push boundaries and produce work that resonates.

Whether I’m developing a big campaign idea, shaping a brand’s visual language, or directing a piece of content, my goal is always the same: make something people will remember—and feel.
