I\'ve defied art school stereotypes by embracing my inner gym bro while maintaining an unwavering passion for art direction, visual storytelling, and brand identity. Fun fact: my design journey kicked off with Microsoft Word Art—proof that I can create with anything.With 6+ years of experience, I\'ve helped companies in crafting cutting-edge designs for new brands while refining and articulating their existing ones. Seamlessly blending aesthetics and storytelling, I specialize in creating captivating brand identities across various industries, from B2B to B2C and beyond. My journey has led me through diverse environments, including agencies and in-house settings, enriching my expertise along the way.
