I bring over 20 years of experience, from Creative direction to fine art, which gives me a unique insight and perspective to leading a design team and serving clients' needs. Over this time, I have worked for and with a diverse set of agencies and clients, including Dell and Alienware computers, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Miller Beer, Samsung, Pro-Tools, and many other major brands, in client-facing and design roles. ​I am well-versed in all aspects of design production from pitch to delivery and enjoy working with and mentoring designers and creatives.
