I’m a designer, systems thinker, and a maker. I see myself as a pragmatic idealist, lifelong learner, underdog, late bloomer, and a work-in-progress.

With over a decade of consultancy and in-house experience in brand, visual, and marketing design, my focus in recent years has been in design strategy, execution, and implementation that bridge the gaps between brand, marketing, and product.

I take pride in developing holistic, bespoke solutions by understanding context, assumptions, and expectations. My goal as a designer is to create delightful works that connect with the audience, solve meaningful problems, and improve lives.

I live for being a quality person and surrounded by quality people.

That’s why I’m always on the lookout for opportunities to work for visionary organizations that empowers employees with autonomy, resource, and permission to fail to achieve lasting and meaningful success. They are often made up of courageous leaders and generous colleagues, individuals who value positivity, kindness, humor, empathy, honesty, humility, grit, balance, diversity, and unity.

In real life, I’m a no-frills husband + father, DIYer, NBA fan, tech geek, amateur AFOL, and common-sense advocate. Sure, I can be a bit awkward at times, but who isn’t at least a little?

My doppelgängers in parallel universes include a city planner, helicopter pilot, carpenter, landscape architect, mechanic, LEGO Master Builder, and a boutique bookstore owner in Brooklyn who can afford to just read all day.
