For 16 years, I shaped the visual identity of the Television Academy and the Emmy Awards. I helped lead a nimble team, guided global campaigns, and designed branding seen by millions in over 120 countries.

In my time there, I learned that you can maintain prestige while staying human about it, respecting boundaries but pushing them when needed. It's a lesson I've carried into every role since whether I'm working with a nearly 100-year-old institution or a three-person startup. I also learned that good design needs to work, whether your audience is in everyday clothes or dressed in a tuxedo.

Since then, I've worked with startups that move at light speed like Fount and Inflection, and established brands like Chick-fil-A and Joe's Stone Crab. I've designed FDA packaging that actually looks premium, created pitch decks that closed Series A funding, and art directed photo and video shoots to build asset libraries from scratch. Moving between entertainment, tech, CPG, and hospitality might seem a bit scattered, but it's just proof that good design thinking works everywhere.

I show up, understand the problem, and ship. I work with all sorts of teams to make things happen, art direct shoots, manage vendors, and sweat the details. I've reduced production costs by $50K using AI tools that actually work, not the ones that look like AI slop, and tripled department output by being organized and keeping in touch with technology. No matter where or what I’m doing, I do my best to make things make sense for everyone involved.

I focus on creating designs that tell a clear story, look timeless, and produce results, whether I’m working 1-on-1 with a local client or for a world-renowned brand. When I’m not working I’m usually taking photos, exploring new places, cooking, or hanging with my wife and our son.
