My creative process is guided by Solve et Coagula, a way of dissolving the complex so it can be rebuilt into something vital. I'm drawn to trends the way Andy Warhol was: as cultural signals worth observing, sampling, and transforming into something that can live longer than the moment.
My work's shaped by sociology, data analytics, and grief counseling, which helps me understand human behavior with both clarity and care. From that insight, I act as a lighthouse for my clients, illuminating what needs to be designed, defining the problem, and building data-informed visuals and experiences that support health, wellness, and fun.
I partner with entertainment clients and community-oriented organizations, bringing strategy and multimedia craft into every deliverable. When I'm not designing, I'm photographing rock concerts, studying Ai, reading Scientific American, playing blackjack, or catching a baseball game in Baltimore, Philly, or Florida.
