Creative Director & Brand Leader
I have over 15 years of experience building and growing consumer brands from the ground up.
I have led creative teams at both agencies and start-ups—launching physical and digital products, creating omni-channel campaigns, and building beautiful brands for high-growth businesses.
Previously, I was the vp of creative at Prose, the design director at Gin Lane, and the creative director at ClassPass.
