People call me when big ideas need to land with the right people.

Ways to Work Together

If you’re looking to launch new products with clarity and trust, I design presentations and decks that make the complex legible.

If you need to win competitive pitches, I create treatments that stand up under pressure and give directors the edge.

If strategy needs to scale into creative, I build narrative frameworks that align teams and audiences.

If storytelling needs to stay sharp under pressure, I design systems and templates that scale output without losing impact.

Recently

Worked with Apple as a Senior Designer on a confidential project. Supported agencies and production companies on high-stakes presentations and treatments for global brands and directors.

Currently

Developing a nostalgia-driven NBA concept as a creative venture in sports storytelling and brand-building, while also developing new speculative projects that push my end-to-end creative practice.

Open To

Open to senior design and art direction roles that bring clarity to complex ideas, sharpen storytelling, and scale creative systems across brand, presentation, and narrative design.

About

I help teams turn complex, ambiguous ideas into clear stories and visuals that win trust and buy-in. My sweet spot is the high-stakes middle: where strategy needs to be translated into clear creative, and where creative has to deliver results without losing clarity or impact. I’ve done this for global brands, creative agencies, and independent teams alike — from shaping a keynote deck for a large tech company, to building a sales narrative for enterprise SaaS, to developing treatment systems for directors. Across every project, my focus is the same: bring clarity, collaboration, and creative impact that lasts.
