About

I’m a visual artist and designer with a background in architecture, blending fine art sensibilities with contemporary design thinking. I specialize in concept art, storyboarding, and illustration across traditional and digital media, with a strong focus on composition, narrative, and visual clarity.

I excel at unblocking stalled projects and providing direction across all stages of the design process, collaborating with cross-functional teams on high-end client work (e.g., Coca-Cola, Nike, The Metropolitan Museum of Art). I’m comfortable leading teams, mentoring creatives, and delivering print and digital artworks from concept to delivery.
