I’m a Chicago-based Creative and Senior Art Director who believes in storytelling, fun, and intent are all integral in ad work.

My career has been defined by a decade of "doing." I’ve navigated the high-speed world of massive, multi-day photo shoots and the scrappy energy of bare-bones productions. I’ve evolved comprehensive brand identities and executed eye catching visuals seen across the country.

My Philosophy:

• Make it: I got into this world because I love making things. I don’t just want to see something cool, I want to be involved in every aspect of making it come to life.

• Learn it: I’m an enthusiasm enthusiast. I love diving into a new idea or hobby - whether it's a new design tool or a niche subculture.

• Turn it up: I gravitate toward work that is bold, energetic, and impossible to ignore.

After ten years of growth at Upshot (now Amp), I’ve refined a style of visual thinking that is both strategic and visceral. I don’t want to just "make things look good" - I want to help brands find their story.

When I’m not in the studio: I’m likely diving into a new interest, running my DIY comedy show, or exploring Chicago’s food scene with my wife and dog. Let’s get a beer and talk about your next big idea.
