Award-Winning Creative Director & Visual Artist
with a passion for new media art and crafty cocktails.

I am very much an artist, using advertising as a vehicle for beauty and innovation. I work hard to push the creative and not play it safe - and after 13 years of uphill battles and broken hearts I know exactly (more or less 🤷‍♀️) how to bring these big ideas to life. I’ve worked on everything from business cards to city-wide installations. Social media ads to immersive live experiences. Print, broadcast, animation and everything in between. I even cook/clean (that part is a lie).

Very happy to make beautiful things.

I’m an accomplished director, motion artist, technologist and VFX specialist with expert knowledge in production, Cinema 4D, the Adobe Suite, AI and the mixed realities…. so yeah, I wear a lot of 🎩.

I’m crazy about my super amazing awesome wife and my 4yr old son, while architectural design and the culinary arts serve as a respite from that time sucking computer screen. Thanks for stopping by!
