Art director with 5+ years working across fashion and music. My background spans photography, filmmaking, graphic design and illustration, but everything I make comes from the same place, visually cinematic and considered. I've directed shoots, built brand identities from scratch, designed campaign materials and made music videos, usually all for the same project. If you need someone who can hold a creative vision across the whole thing rather than just execute one part of it, that's where I work best.
