I’m something of a Zach-of-all-trades, a hands-on Designer and Art Director with 15+ years of experience across brand identity, packaging, campaigns, digital, print, experiential, and more. I’m equally comfortable developing the big idea, jumping into the files, directing a shoot, presenting to a client, or figuring out how the thing actually gets made. I’ve designed campaigns, built brands, and created award-winning work for everyone from the smallest startup to national brands like Frito-Lay, Verizon, Southwest Airlines, and Gillette. You can even find packaging I designed sitting on shelves in more than 20,000 stores across the country.
