Creative Director in NYC blending branding, experiences, and food with a playful but polished edge.

Playful and polished. Stuff worth touching IRL.

to Touch IRL.

I’m a Creative Director based in New York City, working across placemaking, food & beverage, and experiential design. I help brands look good, sound smart, and show up in the world without making people roll their eyes.

With 15+ years of experience, I’ve led everything from big brand overhauls to tiny, scrappy ideas that somehow scale. I build teams, mentor creative talent, and create work that’s both thoughtful and effective—without losing its edge.

My style leans playful but polished. High and low. Strategic but not stiff. I make things people actually want to look at, walk into, or tell their friends about.
