About / Leadership

A Clear Point of View.
A Cohesive Creative System.

I turn brand stories into distinctive product—and give teams the direction to deliver it.

My graphic design foundation at Pratt Institute and early work at Ralph Lauren Polo Sport shaped my approach to visual storytelling, brand identity, and apparel. Those beginnings continue to inform the creative direction I bring to brands today.

Great design needs a clear point of view, a cohesive system, and disciplined execution. I connect heritage and culture with apparel graphics, seasonal concepts, labels, and trims that work together from first sketch to final approval.
