My experience has been built on strategy-led design thinking and solutions that bring brand stories to life through visual and verbal identity, packaging, environments and signage, print, digital and motion applications. I've led design teams in collaborative projects for global brands – both in-house and agency side – building relationships with stakeholders directly and collaborating with clients, partners, and vendors.
I was grateful to work for DoorDash (SF), Prophet (NY + SF studios), the Johnson & Johnson Global Strategic Design Office (NY), Struck (SLC) and completed an internship for Michael Bierut's team at Pentagram (NY).
In recent years I started two organizations applying branding principles and experiential design to create impactful, transformational experiences for families, couples, and individuals. My wife and I started The Light In Us, LLC, and I became a co-founder of a men’s wellness brand, The Heare Brotherhood, whose mission is to forge a global brotherhood of support and growth through wellness practices and transformational experiences.

I'm a proud father of 5. I love to play with the little ones and try to make time for some snowboarding, yoga, volleyball, guitar, learning the uke and banjo or playing at the ninja warrior/parkour gym.
