What I Do

Freelance creative director with 13 years of experience across hospitality, brand experience, immersive events, and luxury residential — working with developers, founders, and CMOs in the US and internationally.

My work spans narrative-driven brand experiences, art installations, high-touch spaces, and theatrical activations, but the common thread? I create things that make people feel something real.

Why I Do It

At my core, I’m fueled by moments that shake people out of their framework'; Moments that make them feel a little more alive. When I design, I’m constantly imagining that spark, that look on someone’s face when they’re caught off guard, delighted, or transported into another world.

It started when I was a kid building haunted houses in my garage. I loved seeing how far I could push a moment, and that’s never really left me. Whether it’s a dinner table for 20 strangers that turns into a surreal exploration of reality, or an entire 3-day Island takeover in Bermuda, I want to create something that resonates deeper than expected.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

One person who can hold the whole creative vision — from strategic story to sensory detail — and communicate it to every discipline on your team. I don't hand off a deck and disappear. I stay in the work until the thing is right.

Your Invitation

If you’re into beautifully designed things that break the norm, we’re going to have a good time, and we’re going to create something incredible.
