I’m an art director, designer and illustrator with 15+ years of experience building brand systems, campaigns, and experiential work for Fortune 500 clients across pharma, tech, and finance. I specialize in translating complex ideas into cohesive visual systems that work across digital, print, and live environments.

Outside the agency world, I spend a lot of time making nerdy art and telling stories. I co-edited and art directed a comic anthology for eight years, producing 12 issues and collaborating with dozens of artists and writers. My illustration work explores storytelling through character design, comics and sequential art, and pop culture-inspired merch.

I grew up in Southwest Michigan and now live in Brooklyn with my partner Hannah and our cat, Wedge (Antilles). When I’m not drawing, you’ll probably find me playing pinball, hanging out at my local game store for TTRPGs/Magic, or being confidently mediocre at bar trivia.
