Creative Director. Brand Manager. Designer.
I'm a creative, a storyteller, a strategic thinker and designer.
In today's world, it can sometimes be overwhelming how much content is constantly being thrown at us. In order to reach our audience, we need to cut through the white noise and break through all the clutter. I believe that creative and content should be stopping, relatable and at times inspiring all while effectively communicating your message and staying true to your brand foundation.
DO GREAT WORK AND ENJOY THE PROCESS!
CHECK OUT MY LATEST WORK
Sports and design are two of my biggest passions in life. When two passions collide, it looks something like this. Working in professional sports is where I found my true signature. Being able to communicate the brand vision for one of the NFL's most decorated franchises that is steeped in heritage makes every day a reward.
Advertising gave me a diverse background and opportunity to strengthen and build brands for a wide
range of clients in virtually every medium. I truly cut my teeth in the agency world by honing my design skills, learning how to think big and to identify my clients needs and goals. Here I learned more than ever that strategy should always lead the way while ensuring execution and brand consistency are delivered at a high level across all channels. My agency experience allowed me to collaborate and work along side some of the most talented creative professionals in the business.
Higher Education is where I learned what it means to truly be a part of something bigger than yourself. Working for an institution and college community is unique and special as you are given opportunity to actually help shape the generations of tomorrow and impact the future with their contributions. This is where I learned to be a true story teller and brand visionary. Here I rebranded an entire college and started a branding campaign that created a movement that connected students, faculty, alumni and staff under
one mission.
We all have a personal story and a vision of what we aspire to be. The "Be A President" campaign created a platform that recognized and told the stories of these transformations that occur every day and ultimately shape who we become after we walk across the stage on graduation day.
Thanks for taking the time to look through the projects that I have worked on.
I have been very fortunate to partner and work with some of the most talented creative teams in the industry and have learned a lot from many. My colleagues and past team members have all made me grow as a designer, creative visionary and professional.
Cultivating teamwork and making sure everyone has a voice on my team has always been a very important part of the process. I served as the Creative Director, Art Director or designer for everything in my portfolio and feel grateful to have been able to be a part of every project.
