About me

Art Director / Creator / Storyteller

With 13 years in advertising, I’ve led creative across brands, platforms, and industries — always with one goal: to make work that feels.

I move beyond identity signifiers and surface trends. My process is intuitive and research-driven, collaborative yet exacting, always tuned to the emotional current beneath the brief. Whether it’s a full-scale campaign or a quiet piece of storytelling, I build with intention — drawing from symbolism, cultural analysis, and visual precision.

Fluent in both big picture and fine detail. Available for the next bold thing.
