I grew up in Los Angeles in the 90s going to hip hop and punk rock shows, trading baseball cards, painting graffiti, running cross-country, skating Venice Beach, boarding the Wedge, and biking the streets with friends in the days before mobile phones and social media.

Here I am, some years later translating that same youthful energy into a 13-year career in design and brand marketing for clients like Asics, Nike, Mattel, and Toyota. I've created, critiqued, consulted, styled, shot, forecasted, and directed for start-ups, start-overs, and everything in between.

I find it exciting because I get to work with people who are just as passionate about their industry as I am mine. I’ve always considered myself an artist by heart, and a designer by choice. It’s the art of serving others and getting to create something out of nothing that keeps me up at night and getting out of bed every damn day.
