What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build brand systems and ship responsive web and product experiences, directing AI as an execution layer—not a substitute for taste, editing, and judgment—while shaping visual strategy and campaign concepts end to end.

I’m an art director and designer who takes ideas all the way to shipped—brand systems, responsive web and product, and AI-driven campaigns. My real craft is judgment: deciding what’s worth making and what to leave out, so execution stays taste-led.

At Autodesk’s Brand and Creative Design Studio, I work across visual language, brand systems, campaign creative, and imagery direction for global teams and partners. I created the blueprint for Hello Yellow, setting visual direction and layout systems that held a single point of view across events, social, internal communications, and partner-facing materials.

Since 2020, I’ve run an independent, AI-native practice in Canada spanning art direction, brand identity, responsive web and product design, and AI-driven campaigns. I design and ship end to end, using tools like Framer and Figma, and keep AI on the executional layer—so the idea, edit, and final taste decisions remain the point of view.
