I create experiences that resonate with people in ways that express core human ideals: community, discovery and aspiration. The need to create believable and genuine, yet inspiring and epic events is a tension that I weave into my work. Taking the large marquee acts and coupling those with intimate moments to give guests the range of emotion during an event is what makes an experience worth remembering, and a brand worth believing.
It’s all about attracting people to something they want and giving them something that they can believe, and keep them coming back for more. I design experiences that speak honestly to the wants and desires of the consumer. It’s critical to maintain the integrity and sensibility in how a brand shows up and behaves in a live experience. Ensuring the work reflects the brand purely makes sure the consumer sees the experience as a legitimate extension of the brand and not as a trend-ridden event.
Most importantly, I do the work. I am a hands-on creative director who has managed multi-million dollar national tours. From concept to spatial design, to content programming, to load in and strike, I am involved the entire way to see my creations come to life.
I take pride in being a creative mind but having a very firm business sense with the agility to maneuver through various mediums. I have worked in many industries, and I deliver
design and visual communication in an artistic hand. The difference in my skill set is understanding my clients intuitively and anticipating their interests and delivering truly memorable brand experiences.
My hobbies include painting, drawing, DJing, woodwork, cooking and enjoying life in all of its great and glorious light.
