Lead Designer (ACD)

Creative & Design

I love this business. The business of design. I love problem-solving. As a passionate creative, my career has crossed all media and almost 15 years. I love building focused brands, created from business objectives that speak to people. Focusing on concept development, strategic thinking and developing a brand across all channels. I love unique life experiences, like surfing, traveling, and skydiving. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments where I can garnish unique insights, perspectives, and experiences. I love to continuously learn, to develop and refine my creative leadership skills. I also love to teach.

Brands I have had the pleasure of working with include, BlackBerry, Cylance, Oakley, Western Digital, Mercedez-Benz, T-Mobile, Boy Scouts of America, Targus, Hooters of America, Hoag, Baja Fresh, Tramell Crow, Kangaroo Express, Puerto Los Cabos. Wine & Spirits: ONEHOPE Wine, Pau Vodka, Infinium Spirits, 4Copas Tequila.
