I started my creative career by proudly selling my childhood drawings door to door, and only scaled up from there—working on global brands like Frito Lay, Quaker, Pizza Hut, Pepsi, T-Mobile, Converse and Hewlett Packard, as well as independent startups, restaurants and breweries. As Creative Director, I’ve led cross-channel teams, from print to digital, branding to social, and everything in-between. I love being a trusted creative partner to help create strategically driven, emotionally-resonant creative that elevates brands in fun ways.
As part of the creative duo, Magnificent Beard, I’ve created globally recognized packaging, illustration and poster design for independent breweries and musical artists like Big Boi, the Wu-Tang Clan, M83, and the Walkmen.
For work or digital high fives hit me up.
