Before I was a creative director, I was a kid designing skateparks in my driveway and building forts from scrap wood with my dad. Though the tools have changed from two-by-fours to Figma, the instinct is the same: look at what’s possible, figure out what’s missing, and build the thing that bridges the gap.

That’s the thread that runs through everything on my resume, even when it doesn’t look like it. Touring musician. Datacenter analyst. Agency co-founder. Creative director. Contractor. The common denominator isn’t the job title, it’s the impulse to enter a new domain, learn it deeply, and find a better way to do the work.

For the past 5+ years I’ve been embedded with WP Engine, one of the world’s leading WordPress technology companies, first as a Visual Designer and now as a contracted creative partner to the Brand. I’ve designed product identities, built Figma-based template systems for cross-functional teams, produced creative at enterprise scale, and helped shape how a global brand shows up across every customer touchpoint. It’s the kind of work I’m built for—high visibility, high autonomy, high stakes.

What makes me a little different is that I operate on both sides of the strategy-execution divide. I can set the creative vision in the morning and build the asset in the afternoon. I understand how a brand system should work architecturally, and I can design the individual piece that lives inside it. I’ve led teams, managed contractors, pitched clients, and written the code for the website the pitch was about. I don’t say this to impress, but because it genuinely shapes how I approach problems. Everything connects.

Right now I’m building toward the next chapter. One that sits at the intersection of creative leadership, AI-accelerated workflows, and product thinking. I’m actively developing tools that help design teams scale their output without sacrificing brand control, and I’m looking for a full-time role where I can bring that energy to an organization solving problems I care about.

If that sounds like something worth a conversation, I’d love to hear from you.
