Senior Art Director & Designer

I’m a hands-on senior designer and art director who thinks, crafts, iterates, and delivers impactful brand experiences. I’ve worked independently and within teams in an in-house, agency, and freelance workspace. Having lived and worked in four different countries,  I have experience across cultures which I use to enhance my creativity and communication.  I’d love to continue growing, collaborating and learning from other talented and passionate creatives.

Skills

I take great pride in my curiosity, empathy, and love for craft. I enjoy working in collaborative and supportive teams where we’re encouraged to do our best and learn from one another whilst also comfortable working solo delivering briefs from end-to-end. I’ve had a long career touching websites, digital advertising, apps, swag, posters, presentations, logos, icon systems, brand roll-outs, video game design, interactive experiences, commercial storyboards and photo shoots.

AI, Programs, and Tools

I use a suite of generative AI tools to accelerate my creative workflow—refining brand strategy, visualizing  high-fidelity comps, storyboarding, rendering conceptual products and creative coding and development. The following generative models are a regular part of my workflow and toolkit:
