BRAND STRATEGY/CREATIVE DIRECTION/EXPERIENTIAL DESIGN

I'm a creative leader who believes brands are built in the moments people actually experience them, not just in logos or taglines.

For more than 20 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of brand strategy, enterprise brand systems, and experiential design. My focus is helping organizations translate complex business challenges into clear, scalable brand expression that builds trust, sharpens the narrative, and performs across every touchpoint.

I’ve launched enterprise brands, led high-visibility investor communications, and directed immersive experiences where the stakes were real. From shaping the NCR Atleos brand following its corporate separation to leading creative for Investor Day at NASDAQ ahead of a $2.5B acquisition, my work lives where executive storytelling meets craft and where clarity and confidence have to coexist.

I build systems, not just assets. Design frameworks that align teams, scale across channels, and hold up under pressure. That includes defining visual languages, establishing governance, and ensuring the brand shows up with consistency in the moments that matter most.

I’ve led and mentored multidisciplinary teams, partnered closely with marketing and executive leadership, and developed brand systems used across global markets. I care as much about alignment as execution, because strong work only succeeds when it is understood, adopted, and sustained.

For me, successful creative does three things. It accelerates trust. It sharpens the story. And it moves people forward with clarity.

That only happens with intention.
