with over 13 years of experience leading creative teams and designing brand ecosystems, i take a strategic, craft-first approach to every project. from tactile packaging on physical shelves to high-converting DTC web platforms, i build systems designed to perform and scale.

I'm a brand designer based in Portland, Oregon, specializing in visual identity for small businesses and startups.

when i'm not behind a screen, you'll find me hitting early morning lifting sessions, geeking out over cinematic film scores, or spending time with my family. i'm always paying attention to bold typography, smart product design, and modern visual culture.
