Co-Founder / Creative Director / A&R

For almost a decade I have worked in the creative field and most recently I was instrumental in the co-founding of a digital marketing firm. In addition, I have pursued passion projects, a boutique creative house, launching an apparel line, producing music events, and curating a digital lifestyle magazine.

My exploration into various design practices and media has allowed me to develop a robust understanding of what it means to be a “creator.” The ever-changing landscape of digital media and advertising provides me with the exciting opportunity to constantly challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what this creative platform can offer. As a creative director I have been able to balance the drive for visual excellence with the needs of the client, while also continuing to support internal business development. 

My goals are to strengthen my leadership skills to become the most effective innovator in the creative process and, continue to push the limits in technology to produce original creative content. The time and energy I spend working for your company will hopefully become a great foundation for me to build upon as I work towards achieving these goals.

Founded as a creative blog which manifested into a clothing brand and is now a multi-faceted creative brand. We are a clothing company, magazine and boutique creative house.
