Art Director

Creative Strategist / Visual Storyteller. In all my years working at ad agencies and on the client side, there is one thing that still rings true: how you connect with the people who will benefit using your product or service, what is the best medium to make the connection, and once you’ve engaged them, how do you retain them.
I have assessed new and existing client through periods of great growth, transformation from traditional to digital communication, and have been recognized for my work.
Below is look at some of the work that I was able to art direct over the years.
