Frequently Asked Questions

Mainly digital and print design. However, I do have leadership experience and I also coded this website.
Yes, I can handle no code design and AI-asssisted coding but, im not full front end developer just yet.
I work with small teams and founders on creative strategy, branding, graphic design, and operational improvements. Most of my work is freelance and contract, but I also collaborate in-house with teams when it’s the right fit.
I’m inspired by fashion, extreme sport culture, and film. I’m drawn to clean, minimal design, but I also love the raw energy of designers like David Carson.
I’m currently open to part-time and contract work, as well as the right in-house opportunity.
When I’m not with my wife or friends, you’ll usually find me at the local Jiu Jitsu gym or just finding any excuse to be outside.

About

I’m a Creative Director and designer specializing in digital design, with roots in print. I draw inspiration from fashion, extreme sport culture, and film. By 2026, I’ll be celebrating 10 years since graduation. I started out freelancing, then moved into a senior graphic designer role. From there, I quickly grew into art director and then creative director, where I’ve spent the past three years leading an in-house team of five designers.

Recently, I stepped away from my in-house role to take on new projects and expand my design work. Since 2020, I’ve also served as an adjunct professor at UC’s School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), where I teach design courses—my way of giving back and sharing what I’ve learned.
