Creative Director blending art direction with strategy to build emotionally resonant brands.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic, concept-driven Creative Director focused on developing ideas that are emotionally engaging and rooted in business objectives. I build strong visual storytelling and translate insights into memorable brand experiences across digital, social, video, CRM, retail, and experiential platforms—from initial concept through execution.
In my most recent work, I took Creative Director charge of creative briefs, design, and project management, supervising creative teams and leading marketing and brand development for a cannabis custom packaging company. Previously, I rebranded and built go-to-market direction as a de facto Chief Marketing Officer and led marketing for a solar startup, then directed integrated solar solutions into wastewater treatment centers—partnering cross-functionally to drive real outcomes.
