BRAND STRATEGY/CREATIVE DIRECTION/EXPERIENTIAL STORYTELLING

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 and experiential design, helping organizations translate complex business challenges into experiences that build trust, clarify the narrative, and create measurable momentum. My approach starts with empathy and keeps the user experience at the center of every decision. Not as a process, but as a belief.

I've launched enterprise brands, directed high-visibility investor communications, and led immersive live experiences where the stakes were real. From shaping the NCR Atleos brand after its corporate separation to directing creative strategy for an 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.

Along the way I've built and mentored multidisciplinary teams, partnered closely with marketing and executive leadership, and developed brand systems designed to scale. I care as much about alignment as execution, ensuring the work not only looks strong, but performs strategically across every touchpoint.

For me, successful creative does three things. It accelerates trust. It sharpens the story. And it moves people from where they are to where you need them to be.

That only happens with intention.
