What I'm looking for

I seek senior executive roles where I can lead human-centered design, scale creative teams, integrate AI-driven product strategy, and deliver measurable business growth.

I am a C-level design futurist and creative visionary with 25+ years of multidisciplinary agency experience across creative direction, product management, executive leadership, and global operations. I specialize in humanizing design across generative AI, web, mobile, SaaS, digital marketing, and advertising.

I have led and scaled teams, grown startups into multi-million dollar brands, and influenced campaigns for Fortune clients and high-net-worth clientele that translated to US $3B+ in cumulative client-side revenue. My work spans strategic brand identity, product design, multimodal AI integration, and cultivating high-performance cross-functional teams.

I deliver measurable business outcomes—accelerating partner growth, improving conversion metrics, and driving substantial revenue increases—while crafting proprietary methodologies and aesthetic systems that anchor brand DNA and operationalize creative excellence.
