About

I’m a Creative Director with 14 years building brand identities for major artists, most recently as VP of Design at RCA Records. I’ve led visual direction for artists like LISA, SZA, and Justin Timberlake, turning their music into cohesive visual worlds across platforms, campaigns, and content. A 4x CLIO Award winner, I love partnering with independent artists, podcast hosts, and content creators who want a true creative collaborator, not just someone executing a brief.
