I’m a multidisciplinary designer and a (nearly) 360° creative director.

I started out designing for boutique creative agencies in New York and then LA. In 2018, a former colleague recommended me for a 6-week contract, designing for the Motion Team at Apple in Cupertino. 

That led to 5+ years at Apple, being promoted to a creative lead, moving up to NorCal, working through a global pandemic, going staff, and moving back to SoCal. I learned a ton about the client and the brand, leading teams, and presenting work. 

My superpower lies in the combination of my experience on both the agency side and the brand side.

I’m currently contracting back at Apple and will update this section when I’m available for freelance agin.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
