About Me

I'm a Creative (Art) Director at R/GA. I believe in the power of using creativity for good. Whether that's giving the brands, I work on a real purpose to connect with their audience or paying it forward to my community.

I've worked for clients in a broad range of industries, from new-economy and gaming to food and automotive. Notable clients include Google, Airbnb, Nissan, California Lottery, Jack in the Box, HBO, The Voice, AMC, TNT, Warner Bros, and Sony Playstation. I've also worked in a variety of mediums from Super Bowl commercials, 3D google cardboard, stunts… you name it, I've done it.

I'm a professor at LMU and General Assembly, a mentor, and have a variety of speaking experiences. I also donate my time to several non-profit efforts, TEDxCulverCity, GreenWorld Campaign, and Light Bringer Project.
