Design Philosophy
As a Sr. Art Director, Experiential and Interactive Designer, I strive to create inspiring and effective ad campaigns; find innovative solutions to questions not frequently asked; and seek out new applications for digital media and art.
I am fascinated by the power of design in the commercial arts and advertising fields, and how, by using art as a means of communication, one can create dramatic change in both society and individuals’ alike. The desire to develop and implement world changing concepts and strategies is at the heart of every project I pursue.
