About me

With over 20 years in the design field, I've worked as a designer, art director, animator, UX designer, creative director, and mentor, building multidisciplinary teams, defining processes, launching products, collaborating with environmental organizations, and identifying creative talent and opportunities.

Throughout my career, I've collaborated with great talented people across numerous offices and countries — creating work for brands Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Dell, Allrecipes, SEAT, Mazda, Grindr.

I'm a hands-on problem solver who believes creativity is a skill everyone can develop, and that being creative — regardless of discipline — means approaching challenges with curiosity and passion to find a better solution.
