Executive Creative Director @ DNY
About
15+ years shaping culture with Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Adidas, Gatorade, and more. Design and art direction are my roots, but I can out-write most copywriters. I’ve built global campaigns, led teams inside Fortune 500s, and created work that’s lived on runways, in stadiums, and across feeds. I move fluidly between brand, concept, and craft. Fully integrated. Always pushing the work further. Let’s work.
