• Marketing Director • Strategy Lead • Art Direction & Designer
Creativity breathes life into the most unlikely places. Ignited by technology, creativity and courage empower my journey from vision to victory.
Imagine the vibrant chaos of a dark video game arcade, the musty air of a college computer lab, or the buzz of activity in a makeshift warehouse design office.
Picture a shared cubicle at an independent record label, sitting around a table inside a corporate conference room, or the moments before a Category 5 makes landfall.
I've scaled historic office buildings in Soho and breached the gates of hypergrowth startups in Lincoln Heights. My journey is anything but ordinary.
In each scenario, I’ve dared to use creativity as a means to allow everyone to have a voice in the creative process while seizing the opportunity to drive growth, create enduring value, and bring audiences closer to what truly matters.
