As a Creative Director, I lead motion-focused teams working across interactive, experiential, and brand environments—from 2D UI/UX systems to large-scale 3D spatial graphics and signage. Some notable high profile projects include experiential creative for Goodyear, Salesforce, Dolby and Google on international platforms like 2024 Summer Olympics, CES and FIFA World Cup.

I managed a small team of diverse creatives; managing timelines, hours, and budgets while maintaining a high creative bar for myself and my team.

My background across agency, studio, and long-form storytelling allows me to balance ambition with execution. I work closely with producers, designers, developers, and clients to create clarity where complexity exists and momentum where friction typically forms. The goal is consistent: work that is structurally sound, visually compelling, and built to function in real-world environments.

As a Motion Designer, I worked across design, technology, and production, using movement to solve problems and bring clarity to complex creative systems. My experience at Media.Monks and Sparks Marketing was shaped by fast-paced, high-expectation environments where motion is core to brand, experiential, and interactive — often referred to and relied upon as a ‘bug light’ to attract attention and potential conversions.

I learned a fluency across tools, formats, and pipelines, from 2D design and typography to 3D environments and live-action integration. The work is iterative and demanding, with long hours, detailed reviews, and constant refinement. Precision matters. Every frame is deliberate, and every refinement ensures a more excellent outcome.

I bring a problem-solving mindset, a curious and strong attention to detail, and the stamina to push complex work through production without compromising quality. The result is motion that feels integrated, intentional, and built to perform.

My creative passion, being a Studio Photographer has opened up doors in the creative industry. My style focuses on creating images that feel both deliberate and human. My approach is rooted in classic photographic principles—light, composition, and timing—paired with a contemporary understanding of brand storytelling and visual consistency.

I’ve photographed products, portraits, editorial features, and branded content, often working with limited setups to achieve clean, expressive results. I’m particularly drawn to studio environments because of how they offer control without sacrificing creativity; however, I’m more likely to be found wandering the coastline with my Makina 67 trying to capture natural beauty on film.

My studio work focuses on deliberate and intentional eye catching packaging and detail driven polished imagery. Often partnering with packaging designers, I aim to build product and studio photography that feels natural, but focused.

As a Lecturer in the award winning Journalism Department at California Polytechnic State University gives me the opportunity to contribute my skills to a greater cause, education. Primarily focused on teaching fundamentals of Adobe, Graphic Design for modular layout, and Motion Graphics Design/Animation.

My classes balance ‘in-person’ learning as well as ‘hybrid/virtual’ curriculum. Hands on, ‘learn by doing’ approach to education in foundational at Cal Poly and in my Labs. I bring real world examples of my profession to students, helping them see the potentials of a career in the creative industry. Since 2021 I have had to fortunate opportunity to be a part of this program building entitlement experience with California State University for my dimensional creative background and detailed creative work experience.
