Profile:

I’m a creative director with over a decade and a half of experience leading and working alongside design teams to shape creative that impacts culture, globally.

As no stranger to the process, I thrive in the messiness of finding the “yes” and exploring opportunities that sharpen ideas from concept to execution. My focus, not only on the design direction, identity and strategy, but also building and fostering teams that feel safe to fail, explore, and refine their ideas.

Before Anduril, I was at Apple, leading and developing award winning identities and campaign creative that left their mark across products, services, and live events.

From expanding global retail campaigns throughout all 514 stores globally to developing the brand identity for the Apple Music Superbowl Halftime Show, I understand that endurance and the ability to get things done is part of the process to make timeless and impactful work.
