I lead brand, the strategy behind it, the creative that expresses it, and the team that ships it.
Fifteen years in, I've built my career at the intersection most people pick a side of. I can set brand direction in an executive meeting, then art-direct the shoot, cut the video, and build the deck myself.
That range is why lean teams hire me. I've launched brand verticals from zero, revived a licensed collaboration that had been sitting unused for three years, and built an internal brand system that's still running nearly a decade later. I've written the crisis statement and shot the campaign in the same week.
The through-line: I want creative in the room during ideation, not after the decision is made. Most brand inconsistency isn't a design problem, it's an alignment problem, and it's cheaper to solve upstream.
Currently Senior Art Director & Creative Marketing Lead at Valley Forge Fabrics, working remotely for the past seven years.
