I'm a strategic and versatile art director with a passion for creative leadership, collaboration, and mentoring the next generation of designers. Over the past 30 years, I’ve led omni-channel campaigns from concept to launch for national brands, built high-performing creative teams, and partnered with agencies and clients to bring meaningful ideas to life.
Along the way, I've developed a love for teaching — whether it’s through formal instruction, one-on-one mentorship, or guiding clients and teams through complex creative challenges. I’ve taught at the college level, presented strategy to executives, and coached junior designers who’ve gone on to incredible careers. Helping others grow is at the core of how I work.
I'm always evolving alongside the industry — from analog to digital, print to social, and now into AI and emerging tools — and I believe adaptability is just as important as craft. Whether I’m directing a campaign, illustrating a comic, or directing a musical (yep, I do that too), I bring curiosity, clarity, and commitment to everything I take on.
