Curious by nature.
Precise by practice.

I’m an independent art director and designer helping values-led brands find a visual language that feels unmistakably their own.

My work lives where editorial thinking, identity, and image-making overlap. I’m interested in the details people remember: the pace of a page, an odd crop, a sentence with a pulse, paper that asks to be touched.

Before going independent, I led design teams across publishing, hospitality, and culture. Today I build small, senior teams around each project and stay close from the first messy question to the final polished thing.
