I’ve always been the kind of person who wants to understand how things are made.
When I was younger, I was curious about images, design, film, technology, and the small creative details that can change how someone feels. I didn’t know it at the time, but that curiosity would become the foundation of my career.
Over the years, that curiosity grew into a craft. I learned how to take an idea and shape it into something visual, emotional, and meaningful. I built my career across art direction, motion design, video, digital content, brand storytelling, and integrated campaigns — always moving between big-picture thinking and hands-on execution.
What I’ve learned is that a great idea is only powerful when it can be brought to life. That has become one of my strengths: connecting strategy with craft. I can help define the direction, build the visual language, lead the team, and still understand the details of the edit, the motion, the pacing, the design system, and the final delivery.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands across beauty, fashion, healthcare, lifestyle, retail, and digital media. At Maesa, I led video and motion content across brands including Fine’ry, MIX:BAR, Hairitage, Kristin Ess, Ontu, Scents Unearth’d, and others. At Victoria’s Secret, I helped create digital video and motion assets for social, web, and major brand moments, including the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Earlier in my career, I led creative teams and campaigns for agencies and clients where strong storytelling, brand consistency, and business growth all had to work together.
My work has always lived at the intersection of creativity, problem-solving, and production. I enjoy building creative systems that help teams move faster, work smarter, and produce content that feels both beautiful and useful. Today, that also means exploring how AI can support the creative process — not as a replacement for craft, but as a new tool for imagination, speed, and scale.
My goal is to continue growing as a creative leader who brings together art direction, video, motion design, and AI-powered content innovation. I want to help brands tell better stories, build stronger visual identities, and create content that connects with people across digital, social, retail, and emerging platforms.
At the heart of my work is still the same thing that started it all: curiosity.
Curiosity keeps me learning. Craft helps me bring ideas to life. And storytelling gives the work meaning.
