Creativity is about ownership.
I have a confession: I was not a man of simplicity. I've spent my early career making complex stuff—lots of complicated things. So now I atone for it by making the complex simple.
I have been a Creative Director focused on product design and strategy for the past 10+ years. I've enjoyed working with high-profile clients such as Facebook, Apple, Citi, Saks 5th Ave, Carolina Herrera, West Elm, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Fox Sports, and many more.
I have led the creative teams at Brickwork, Boxbee, Betaworks, HD MADE, and WGSN, where I created various practical design solutions for different digital platforms.
I'm passionate about design thinking, human behavior, and user empathy. I get excited about re-framing problems from different angles and endeavor to develop innovative ideas around user-centered design.
In my free time, I enjoy reading autobiographies, listening to tech & design podcasts, keeping up with the latest design trends, and always up for a good conversation over coffee.
