ABOUT
I am a hands-on Creative Director with over 15 years of experience leading projects across media, music, fashion, technology, and more – specializing in conceptually-driven art direction, visual identities, and brand strategy. Originally from the UK, I grew up in Baltimore and have now called New York home longer than anywhere else.
I have led global brand relaunches, cross-channel advertising campaigns, and created album art for platinum and gold-winning artists. As a goal-oriented visual storyteller, I’m committed to delivering high-quality work with measurable results. Whether I’m leading a team or executing details myself, my approach is always rooted in understanding both the brand and audience to craft thoughtful, effective solutions that resonate. I’ve worked across multiple creative disciplines with clients ranging from emerging startups to global brands.
Fueling both my competitive nature and entrepreneurial spirit – I am also co-founder and partner of the aptly-named creative studio, Friendly Rivals.
