About

Los Angeles-based brand and creative director with over two decades of experience creating work that shapes culture. I help brands and organizations define their voice and visual strategy, how they look, feel, and show up in the world. Expressive, honest and felt, not just seen.

Currently, I'm Inaugural Director of Design at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, where I built the museum's first in-house design function from the ground up ahead of its September 2026 opening.

My work is rooted in stories that need to be heard, the ones traditional brand storytelling too often overlooks.

Work with me

Brand Foundation
For organizations building or rebuilding from the inside out. We find what's already true and make it visible.

Brand Clarity in Transition
For organizations at a turning point — a launch, a rebrand, a repositioning — that need to know who they are before execution begins.

Currently taking select advisory and creative direction engagements.

Practice

Alongside brand work, I make things. Objects, books, images, and installations rooted in identity, place, and memory.
