Infinitely Curious.



Over the past 24 years, I’ve had incredible opportunities to create some highly visible projects for brands like TIDAL, Sonos, Apple, Beats by Dre, Nike, Gatorade, Nissan and Google to name a few. I have also been commissioned by many visionary entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life in areas of Hospitality, Education, Apparel Design, Music, Entertainment, Real Estate and Consumer Technology.

I have been gathering insights and skills along the way, aimed at evolving how brands can interact with people and develop genuine lasting relationships.
