EXPERIENCE

CREATIVE DIRECTOR & PRODUCER // 2023-PRESENT Freelance                                                                                                 

As a freelance creative, I provide art, design, and creative direction across the full lifecycle of experiential projects, from concepting and leading pitches to design development, production and fabrication documentation, to final installation. I work closely with clients, internal teams, and brand partners to deliver strategic, guest-centric solutions that integrate technology and design in thoughtful, effective ways. My creative direction spans everything from fabrication and graphics to wayfinding, photography, and AV, with a focus on luxury and artful experiences.

In under five years, I helped scale a fast-paced creative agency from a five-person team and $2M in revenue to over 20 employees and $25M in revenue. I built and led the in-house creative department from the ground up, growing it from a team of one to a multidisciplinary studio of 6+, including graphic, environmental, product, and architectural designers, earning three promotions along the way. Working closely with the CEO and cross-functional teams, I led winning pitches and executed creative and design for 40+ high-impact brand experiences per year, taking projects from concept to completion alongside a tight-knit team of creative producers and account managers.
