your classic art school dropout.tm


i’m a senior art director based in new york city.

i’m currently working at orchard creative in nyc across multiple accounts. i’ve worked previously at 72andsunny on Sleep Number, bbdo worldwide on AT&T and SheaMoisture, fcb new york on Lincoln Financial account, and additionally on brands such as iRobot, TAZO Tea, Unilever (Right to Shower, Dove), xfinity mobile, HBO, and others at edelman.

i attended pratt institute for two and a half years, refining my fine arts and concentrating on advertising.

i still explore the fine arts, and have interest in combining digital and social design with the more tangible mixed-media aspects that the arts allow.  

if you put me in front of a camera i’ll still be directing the shoot:
