About

Hello! I’m a freelance creative director and art director with 14 years of experience. My past and current projects include brand platforms, campaigns, visual language, photo shoot direction, and pitch work for Nike, Jordan Brand, Ray-Ban, Meta, Lionel Messi, and Travis Scott, among other clients.

Prior to that, I was the creative director for Nike and Apple projects at Hyphenated Collective. During that time, I led the repositioning and rebrand of Nike Diamond (baseball and softball), resulting in double-digit growth in youth MLB viewership, Little League participation, and followers of Nike Diamond’s social channels. I also led the launch campaign for skateboarder Ishod Wair’s first signature shoe with Nike SB, which topped views and shares across Nike SB channels; and conceptualized and designed campaigns to promote Apple TV shows.

Earlier in my career, I was art director for “got milk?” campaigns. Beyond its commercials, in 2016, I co-created an irreverent action sports and lifestyle brand for “got milk?” called Bones Love Milk. After three years building Bones Love Milk, the brand became a professional skateboard team and a popular hub for action sports lifestyle and culture.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to have my work featured in publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, GQ Sports, Complex; exhibited internationally in art galleries; and recognized by prestigious festivals of creativity and effectiveness.

Before all of that, I moved to the U.S. in my teenage years by way of an athletic scholarship, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Utah State University and a Master of Arts in Advertising from The University of Texas at Austin, where I also worked as a teaching assistant and researcher while completing the school’s creative portfolio program.
