the short version

I'm an art director and senior graphic designer based in Denver with 7+ years working across brand, campaign, and editorial. I concept, direct, and design, and I care most about figuring out what an audience needs to believe before any of the design decisions get made.

I've worked both sides of the brief. Four years at Salvage Advertising under a creative director, learning how agencies think. Two years in-house at Lifetime Home Remodeling as Creative and Design Manager, learning how brands live and scale across a real organization.

I work at the intersection of design and direction, with a clear point of view on what the work needs to accomplish before any design decisions get made.

Outside the work you'll find me walking laps around Wash Park, painting when I can get myself motivated, and cooking. I make it to Creative Mornings when I can. The best creative conversations rarely happen at a desk.
