About
I’m a product designer turned creative leader who thrives in chaos and builds clarity from it. Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worn many hats —from head of design and creative director, to CCO and co‑founder.
I build brands, product experiences, and marketing systems from zero to one for startups and studios alike—across A2A banking, aerospace simulations, digital currency, AR, smart radios, navigation, nonprofits, and beyond.
For now, this is just me. If you’d like to see recent work, please reach out.
